‘The Unholy Trinity’ Review: A Solid Western Drama Boosted by the Star Power of Pierce Brosnan and Samuel L. Jackson
'The Unholy Trinity,' director Richard Gray’s satisfying follow-up to 'Murder at Yellowstone City,' stars Samuel L. Jackson and Pierce Brosnan.
The big difference here is, while Murphy only rarely appeared opposite superstars on the order of James Stewart (in “Night Passage”) or Burt Lancaster (John Huston’s “The Unforgiven”), Lessard shares the screen with two imposing icons, Pierce Brosnan and Samuel L. Jackson. Lessard plays Henry Broadway, a naïve and untested fellow whose life take a dramatic pivot in the 1870s when he has a fleeting reunion with Isaac (Tim Daly), his estranged outlaw father, just minutes before the older man is the guest of honor at a necktie party. He also adds a subtle sprinkling of religious symbolism to the mix — not just in the cheeky title — and allows the film’s two most important female characters, Running Cub and Dove’s supportive wife Sarah (a well-cast Veronica Ferres), to demonstrate they are straight shooters, not distressed damsels, when the bullets fly.
