Head Out To The ‘Slow West’ This July

I actually was able to see this film at a film festival quite recently and was very fond of what I saw. Slow West is a quirky western certainly worth the time of those who enjoy Michael Fassbender or a bit of weirdness in a genre like this. The film is all about two unlikely allies traveling through 19th century American wilderness in an effort to find a girl. Lots of craziness ensues. The film has earned plenty of acclaim and arrives on Blu-ray on July 7 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Continue on to learn more about this upcoming Blu-ray release.

In search of his fugitive girlfriend and her father, 16-year-old Jay (Smit-McPhee) heads west across the 19th-century American wilderness. Along the way, Jay meets Silas (Fassbender), a mysterious traveler who protects him from the savage and lawless elements. But is Silas really watching out for Jay…or is he tied to the band of desperados tracking them? Every step west brings Jay closer to the truth-leading to an epic, bullet-laced showdown in this quintessential Western.
