Wild Faith

About This Movie

Wild Faith is an interesting dive into post-Civil War America, blending action with the Western genre in a way that feels both raw and reflective. Emmett Murphy, played by Shane Hagedorn, is a complex character, grappling with his past and seeking solace after loss. The film's atmosphere is thick with tension as it explores themes of racism, redemption, and the struggle for acceptance. There are definitely moments where the pacing lags, but the performances, particularly from Lauren LaStrada as Haddie, give it a certain weight. It’s the kind of film that doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, and the practical effects lend a gritty authenticity to its battle scenes. It's a unique take on the Western that might surprise you if you're willing to look deeper.
