Rust Ratings & Reviews
- Plexxor the Pretty GoodMay 29, 2025What a powerful movie! The bleakness of the time is pervasive. Cinematography is exceptional. Just gut wrenching life with it's uncontrollable fervor running it's course over and through you like you have absolutely no say in what happens. Helluva story with tears streaming down your face; happy, sad, and just glad to have experienced it from afar.
- ricomckeeOctober 11, 2025Rust is a good movie that because of the tragedy surrounding the film which also resulted in crew and casting changes due to delays missed out on being a great movie. The cinematic lens that the cinematographer held was brilliant and is the true star. The story is that of modern westerns filled with despair and desperation. However, it goes on too long without enough action and a lack of character development from the other leads outside of Baldwin and the young actor playing his grandson. Josh Hopkins does well but doesn’t turn in the performance needed and instead appears one dimensional and only focused on the law. For a movie over two hours the lack of emotional depth and character development makes the film feel longer and less satisfying. Still this is not a bad film… it just has flaws that keep it from being great.
- CubaneAugust 17, 2025Seems very much like Alec Baldwin woke up one day and decided he wanted to LARP as a badass wild west outlaw. So he found a director and a studio willing to back him, murdered a photographer on set to get some headlines, and expected the rest to just work itself out. Thankfully this was a complete box office bomb, so it's unlikely his "ideas" will be humored by a major studio again. The movie itself is fairly predictable, clearly showing its low-budget and rushed nature in some spots, but with some decent action and cinematography showing through occasionally.
