So slow it was like watching steel rust.

There's not much worse than a road trip film or a western where nothing happens for long long stretches of time. This is one of those "talking by the campfire", Westerns. It's a wagon trail trip movie with an old man and a boy where almost nothing happens along the way. The cinematography, the acting, the and story are fine but the pacing is brutally and painfully slow. Such a shame someone on the film crew had to pass away by accident. There's no reason this movie needed to be made. It's been done better by others like John Wayne, in this genre. Rooster Cogburn comes to mind. Maybe it's worth a watch but drink coffee to keep yourself from nodding off.

Disappointing...

Of course I had heard about this movie prior to watching it. I mean, it was after all the movie that caused quite a ruckus for Alec Baldwin given the situation with a firearm loaded with live rounds.I have to say that the storyline and narrative was not the most interesting, and it struggled with slow pacing, which made it somewhat of a dull viewing experience to sit through two hours and nineteen minutes of watching it. There was a whole lot of talking throughout the course of the movie and not particularly much in the action department.The movie does have a good cast ensemble, with the likes of Alec Baldwin, Jake Busey, Frances Fisher, Josh Hopkins, Xander Berkeley, Abraham Benrubi and Travis Fimmel. So you are in rather capable company throughout the course of the movie. The acting performances in the movie were good, which I figure was needless to point out."Rust" does look and feel like a proper Western, so thumbs up to the set designers, wardrobe, props, etc. That made it a bit more bearable to sit through the narrative.This is a movie for diehard fans of the Western genre. I sat down to watch it as a casual viewer and I was struggling to keep having an interest in the sluggish narrative. I will not be returning to watch "Rust" a second time, as I was struggling enough to get through it the first time.My rating of writer and director Joel Souza's 2024 movie "Rust" lands on a four out of ten stars.
