The Hollow Pointhd | AUTHENTIC |

(2016) is a gritty, sun-bleached neo-Western that feels like a blood-spattered love letter to the Coen Brothers and Cormac McCarthy. Directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego, it trades in the nihilism of the American Southwest, delivering a visually striking but narratively messy thriller that prioritizes "cool brutality" over a cohesive plot.

The film is set in a desolate Arizona-Mexico border town where an ammunition smuggling deal gone wrong unleashes a wave of violence. At its center is Wallace (Patrick Wilson), a straight-laced new sheriff who returns to his hometown only to find himself in the crosshairs of a ruthless cartel "fixer". He is forced to team up with the man he’s replacing: Leland (Ian McShane), a cynical, whiskey-soaked lawman who treats the rulebook more like a suggestion.
