Brimstone apparently tells a triumphant epic of survival and a tale of powerful womanhood and resistance against the unforgiving cruelty of a hell on earth. The heroine is Liz (Dakota Fanning), carved from the beautiful wilderness, full of heart and grit, hunted by a vengeful Preacher (Guy Pearce) – a diabolical zealot and her twisted nemesis. But Liz is a genuine survivor; she’s no victim – a woman of fearsome strength who responds with astonishing bravery to claim the better life she and her daughter deserve. Fear not. Retribution is coming.
Written and directed by Martin Koolhoven, and also starring Kit Harington, Carice van Houten, Paul Anderson and Emilia Jones, Brimstone doesn’t yet have a UK or US date, but despite Guy Pearce’s presence, I’m not in a rush to see it.
