This smartly cast, vengeance-fueled oater proves mighty entertaining in its own right.

Spiked with dryly funny exchanges and lovingly shot by Eric Robbins on 35-millimeter film, "In a Valley of Violence" nevertheless feels exasperatingly two-dimensional.

Revenge hasn't been this sweet in a long time.

Turning his recent slide into middle-aged paunch to his advantage, Travolta allows a glimmer of the charisma he wielded in Pulp Fiction to shine through.

A sincere letter of love from its director to the genre, perhaps less risky and hoarder than might be expected, but equally enjoyable. [Full review in Spanish]

Announces itself as an unabashed B-movie from its pre-credits scene ... and never worries itself about being anything deeper than that.

In a Valley of Violence is a fusion and modernization of old genres, particularly Spaghetti Western, and though not without flaws, it is mostly an entertaining thrill ride.

In a Valley of Violence does not take itself too seriously (a great asset), but it also takes itself just seriously enough that it's not empty snarky parody.

A by-the-numbers spaghetti Western that's kind of slow and uneventful-and the world has no shortage of those.

West, making his first foray into westerns, doesn't control the tone. Its somber, bone-dry gruffness crumbles to dust, only to be replaced by adolescent jokiness.

It seems that West's quirkiness involves no point at all, other than to create a familiar setting, throw a bunch of idiots together, and watch them act out their violent tendencies to somewhat predictable ends.
