Alec Baldwin's 'Rust': The only thing that's worth seeing in Western is also the most tragic
Briefly

The film 'Rust' has finally been released nearly four years after a tragic incident left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead. The Western movie, described as mediocre and difficult to view, has stirred significant controversy due to its association with the tragedy. The decision to release the film, viewed by some as capitalizing on grief, has been criticized as a massive error in judgment. Baldwin portrays Harlan Rust, with the narrative focusing on a young boy wrongly accused of murder. The film’s legacy will forever be intertwined with Hutchins' untimely death and the subsequent legal fallout.
The wait is finally over... for a movie nobody was waiting for.
Mediocre and often uncomfortable to watch; forever tainted by tragedy.
Completing 'Rust' and releasing it was a massive error of judgement.
That choice leaves a foul taste, even if the stated rationale is to showcase the woman's work.
