Josh Brolin stars as a bounty hunter bent on revenging the murder of his wife and child by a renegade warmonger (John Malkovich) in the aftermath of the Civil War.

The film shows its comic-book origins in good ways (stylish settings) and bad (too many scenes end in a gigantic conflagration), though the paychecks must have been handsome: Wes Bentley as a corrupt politician and Michael Fassbender as Malkovich's sidekick take relatively modest roles amid the mayhem, while Megan Fox supplies the eye candy.
