Many westerns play up the majestic nature of the cowboys and lawmen that attempted to tame the wild country and the outlaws that roamed it, but not Bone Tomahawk. The 2015 Kurt Russell movie that is gory and ruthless is a recent addition to Netflix's streaming library in the US (as of Monday, July 15), giving more people the chance to solidify the movie's status as a cult favorite.
Written and directed by S. Craig Zahler, Bone Tomahawk takes place in the dying days of the old west, where a sheriff and a group of men set out to rescue captured town residents from a dangerous cave-dwelling group. In addition to Russell as Sheriff Hunt, the movie stars Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox, Richard Jenkins, Lili Simmons, Evan Jonigkeit, David Arquette, Kathryn Morris, Sid Haig, Geno Segers, Sean Young and Fred Melamed.
