One of the best Western movies of recent years is on TV tonight

It features a great ensemble cast.

The film sees Ethan Hawke play a mysterious drifter in the Old West who, while travelling toward Mexico, stumbles into a town known as the "valley of violence".

There, the drifter becomes embroiled in a dangerous feud with a local troublemaker (James Ransone), who happens to be the son of the town's marshal (John Travolta).

Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ti West (best known for his horror movies X, Pearl and the upcoming MaXXXine), In a Valley of Violence also features amongst its cast Burn Gorman, Karen Gillan and Taissa Farmiga.

Released in 2016 in very few cinemas, the Western nevertheless received very positive reviews.

It's easy to why, with its quietly charismatic lead turn by Hawke, its fun supporting cast, its moments of humour and its genuinely exciting climactic action sequence.

In a Valley of Violence is airing on TV tonight on the channel Legend at 9pm. It is also available to rent Apple TV, Google Play and Rakuten TV.
