Broken Horses Movie Review By MDBReviews 

The death of a bordertown sheriff played by Thomas Jane changes the ways of his two children in the ballpark of after 15 years in "Broken Horses."

After trying to make it as a classical violinist in New York, Jakey (Anton Yelchin, Chekov in the new "Star Trek" films) returns home before his wedding to accept a gift from brother Buddy (Chris Marquette). Simple-minded and highly impressionable, Buddy has been a hired gun and surrogate son for local crime kingpin Julius Hench (Vincent D'Onofrio).

Julius and Jakey alternate controlling Amigo, one to hold a faithful officer and the other to save their lives.

This western feels timeless despite signs of modernity such as the smartphone and the border patrol. The performances (especially by child actors) and production design deliberately echo golden-age Hollywood. Perhaps truth, justice and the American way simply haven't changed in half a century- at least in the eyes of Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the Bollywood director and co-writer at the helm here.

Generational resentment is a general subject; the great sibling terrible sibling dichotomy, a Bollywood installation, additionally plays out in "Broken Steeds."

While Chopra attempts to crack the American market with a slice of cinematic apple pie, he holds up a mirror to how Hollywood's tried-and-true narrative of vigilantism connotes who we are, at home and overseas.
