thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 12, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Kyle J @RT92554104 Feb 1, 2023 This movie might entertain middle school kids. Maybe. See more Jun 20, 2016 Kansas is an uneven movie that mixes melodrama of two drifters, with a suspense thriller setting. To see a work of art relatable to this film is "At Close Range", with Sean Penn and Christopher Walken; that film was able to convey the fragile temperaments of its characters through the guise of a suspense genre. One of the elements that causes this film to fall under the weight of its ambition is its indifferent examination of McCarthy's character: the film seems to want to take an objective viewpoint on McCathry's "heroism" versus Dillon's nihilistic persona, and how they seem to be inextricably linked. Yet I didn't see much to do about McCarthy's motivation, and what causes him to be a drifter. Dillon seems to embody more of a drifter attitude without need of a backstory. The music is also glaringly frustrating, as it makes us feel like we're watching an episode of "Little House on the Prairie" due to McCarthy's new found "faith" in hard labor on the frontier land. But this goes back to the problem of my foresaid problem with McCarthy's motivation: he was never a bad guy to begin with, so why the implicated story arc through the music and montage sequences of him doing an honest day's work? I think this movie would've best been served, story-wise, if both of the main characters actually had a history, even a longtime friendship, of being rascals from the beginning, and then one of them breaking off into discovering midwestern "values"; either that, or just make it a damn thriller without the sentimentality!
