  • Summary: Jonah Hex is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone... and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Leila, whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull. But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. (Warner Bros.) … Expand

    Nutty? Maybe. But a pungent blast of the cinema du bonkers is just what this summer's multiplexes need after weeks of bromide-stuffed retreads that are as smug about their lack of originality as packs of teen girls who dress exactly alike. Mock Jonah Hex if you must, but you can't say you've seen a lot of other supernatural Westerns lately.

    Actually, it's hard to have any thoughts while watching Jonah Hex – the cranium-crushing soundtrack takes care of that.

    A mercifully fleet and lamentably uninteresting adaptation of the DC Comic about a war-weary Confederate soldier.

    Great movie! Tons of action from beginning to end. Good script. (I'm glad I sawJonah Hex, and didn't pay attention to the reviews, I wonder if the critics even saw the movie.) Fun movie! Better than anything else out there!… Expand

    "Jonah Hex" is a terrible wild-western action flick that succeeds in mindless action but fails with a obvious plot.

    At a running time of about 80 minutes “Jonah Hex” still feels to long. The plot never develops, characters are to familiar and the film is just one big action scene after another. Full review: www.dukeandthemovies.com… Expand
