Film Review: Jonah Hex (2010)

     Jonah Hex stars Josh Brolin (big brother in The Goonies, No Country for Old Men, Planet Terror, Milk, and played the president himself in W.) as a no-rules bounty hunter. His nemesis is played by John Malkovich (Dangerous Liaisons, Con-Air, Being John Malkovich, Man in the Iron Mask), his devoted whore girlfriend is played by Megan Fox (Transformers, How to Lose Friends & Alienate People,  Jennifer's Body) and the bad guys right hand man is Michael Fassbender (a TV actor in many things until being in 300, Inglorious Basterds, Centurion & will be in the next X-Men film this year as the young Magneto)

      In the story Jonah Hex has been horribly scarred across his face; a scar that originated by enemy, Quinton Turnbull (Malkovich). As a bounty hunter Hex sets out to kill Turnbull and they make a history of going after each other as all enemy pairs do! But Hex gets some help from unlikely characters: the dead! When finally their paths cross it seems the whole country is at risk!
     I really liked this movie! It's based on the comic by the same name, which I have never read! But that does mean there is much more to the story! They could have made this movie longer or concentrated on different things, but it works. It's a new kind of western with a bit of supernatural thrown in. This doesn't really adhere to historical accuracy, but it does have some civil war references, and it defo has some Americana concerning the president of the time and the creating of the capital, etc....
     Interesting Facts: There is also a DC animated short film based on the comic!.... The first Jonah Hex comic is from 1977!.... President Grant is played by Aiden Quinn, but he doesn't have a large role at all!....
