Jericho

About This Movie

Jericho is this gritty, modern western that leans heavily into noir territory. It follows the story of Jericho, an ex hitman who spirals into a violent revenge quest after a brutal murder shakes his world. The film's tone is dark, and there's a palpable sense of despair that permeates every frame. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, which contrasts sharply with the bursts of brutal action. What really stands out are the practical effects—no over-the-top CGI here, just raw, visceral violence that hits hard. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who carries that tormented energy really well. There's an atmosphere of unease throughout, making it a distinctive watch, even if it might not appeal to everyone.
