Deadwood: The Movie

THE GIST
: A commemorative ceremony brings now Senator George Hearst back to Deadwood, where old grudges involving Al Swearengen, Marshall Seth Bullock, and others are rekindled.

Deadwood: The Movie is another example of a movie made specifically to give closure to the many fans of a TV series that was canceled before a proper send-off.

Most of the characters are back, and I was surprised by how quickly I felt reacquainted with all of them.

Indeed, hats off to the entire cast for so effortlessly and seamlessly re-inhabiting characters they gave life to many, many years ago.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Absolutely recommended for those who watched the series. If you haven't, I would wholeheartedly recommend doing so, and then wrapping it all up with this movie. It's one of the best shows I ever watched.

Grade: 7.5
