‘The English’: Emily Blunt braves the frontier in an engrossing but gruesome Western

Cornelia Locke (Emily Blunt) travels from Britain to 1890 Wyoming to find the man who killed her son in “The English.” (Prime Video)

An upper-crust Englishwoman named Cornelia Locke takes an arduous journey across the pond in 1890 and eventually makes her way via carriage to Wyoming, wearing a pink dress and a fancy hat and a veil, carrying a satchel filled with cash and trusting her fate to an obviously nefarious group that includes a grinning idiot who plays the squeeze box upon her arrival in an isolated and newly created and yet-to-be-populated town.

We’re starting to believe you didn’t think this through, Cornelia.
