Why watch this film?
Directed by veteran of the Western and action cinema, Walter Hill (Revenge, Deadwood), Dead for a Dollar (Muerto por un dólar) is an austere and classic Western in its narrative. The story follows a bounty hunter veteran who must cross into Mexico to save the wife of a millionaire, but soon discovers that she is actually running from him and he must decide whether to protect her or return her. At times the budget shortages are noticeable, but its narrative explores a historically ungenerous era –and genre– with women and people of color. That, plus good performances by Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and Christoph Watz (Inglourious Basterds) make it worth a chance.

The Warriors
Based on Sol Yurick's homonymous novel (inspired by the Greek history 'Anabasis', by the Greek historian and soldier Xenophon), 'The Warriors' is a movie directed by Walter Hill, about a dystopia in New York, focusing on street gangs that rule the city. At the time, it was poorly received for romanticizing violence, with stiff performances and dialogues. Today, however, it is considered a cult classic for the same reasons, a product of pop culture with a certain comic book aesthetic, whose scenes have become well known. It was an inspiration for other films, such as Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction'.

The Assignment
'Revenge' is without a doubt a powerful punch to the senses. What starts out as a story of a woman seeking revenge for her brother's murder takes an entirely unexpected turn. The killer is captured and subjected to a forced sex-change surgery. Sigourney Weaver plays a cold doctor and Michelle Rodriguez portrays Frank, the killer now seeking revenge. Directed by Walter Hill (producer of 'Alien'), this movie will surely please fans of action films and plenty of punches thrown.

The Settlers
The Settlers (Los colonos), directed by Felipe Gálvez, is a Chilean film that appropriates the conventions of the revisionist western to explore a often marginalized side of Chile's colonialist history. The plot revolves around a landowner who hires an expedition to demarcate his property and open a path through Patagonia to the Atlantic Ocean. Who makes up the expedition? A young Chilean mestizo, an American mercenary, and an English lieutenant—a uneasy mix that generates tensions. Although scattered in tone and narrative, The Settlers is visually impressive and serves as a good starting point if you want to learn more about European colonization in Latin America, the repercussions of which are still felt today.

Never Grow Old
"Never Grow Old" is an Irish Western starring Emile Hirsch ("Into the Wild") and John Cusack ("Being John Malkovich") as the antagonist. The film follows Emile's character, a funeral director living in a peaceful, vice-free town whose peace is disturbed by the arrival of a stranger bringing alcohol, cards, and women. The vices destabilize the town, and though the activity proves lucrative for the funeral home, he realizes that the situation could put his family in danger. The film is slow and immersive, building up a lot of tension as it unfolds. The characters present a complex morality that cannot be easily defined as good or bad, and the performances of both protagonists carry the movie. It is a modern Western in all its implications, seeking ways to rekindle the genre and develop new conflicts.
