Jackson (Scott Eastwood) was the top killer for General Sherman in the Civil War. His wife Alexandra (Camilla Belle) was abducted by three Spanish speaking men out in the wilds of Colorado 1872. Jackson tracks them south when he meets a dark stranger (Walton Goggins) who enacts a toll to travel his road, wanting all that Jackson has, including, maybe his soul. Jackson manages to get away, going down the road of purgatory in what appears to be some existential film.The film was interesting even if Scott Eastwood isn't. This was another limited lines, not needing to act production for Scott. 54 minutes into the film, the identity of the dark stranger is revealed. The mystery aspect of the film kept me entertained, but clearly won't be on my re-watch list.Guide: I caught 1 F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

I can't begin to say how bad this piece of s**t is. The only reason it got made is due to the Eastwood name being attached, as that name is gold in Hollywood, and Clint is considered royalty. His son Scott Eastwood has been acting a while now and is not bad at it but he was given horribly written dialogue to say in this nag. The Writer/Director of Diablo, Lawrence Roeck has a fascination with Clint it appears and somehow convinced his son Scott to star in this mess. With Scott involved, along with an aging Danny Glover the money was raised and this is the result. What a waste of money that could have been used to fund a real movie. Lawrence Roeck is a horrendous director and writer and should go find another line of work. I have not seen anything else Roeck has done and now do not feel the need to search more out so I can be tortured with atrocious dialogue and direction. I could not watch this one to the end and had to stop not long into it. It was that bad. Run as far as you can from this one folks.

Because of the poor reviews I didn't have many expectations for this western, but, having watched it, I wonder if others saw a different movie. I watched a smart thrilling movie that gave a fresh twist to the typical western genre and stereotypical hero - akin to Bone Tomahawk (another fantastic western with a modern edge of violence). Scott Eastwood is a bit boring at the beginning but once his character evolves, he is brilliant and believable. I had no trouble following the story line and I applaud Lawrence Roeck for using dialogue and action to reveal the twist instead of dragging out a boring detailed explanation.This is not your formulaic Clint Eastwood Western but rather a next generation western in both actor and plot. Well done.

Isn't it dangerous to follow into the footsteps of your father? They will always compare you with your father. Just watch this western. Scott Eastwood is playing the leading role. Immediately you will think of the old spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood, Scott's father.Sure, Scott has the looks and sometimes he even has the same expressions as his father but does it make a good western.I found it hard to follow. The script is simple, save your wife being abducted by Mexicans. But it didn't work out as the old school westerns. The editing was terrible. Just look at faces how they are different between cuttings. Not only that, it even remind me of Police Squad. There's a shoot-out going on and people are maybe a few meters from Scott and still they can't hit him. Even the ending is awkward. Another gun fight and what is happening when they pull the trigger is never shown. Weird western that do has it moments but also has it flows.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
