Alec Baldwin’s film Rust has continuously been in the news ever since the tragedy struck during the shoot. Many will know that Alec Baldwin accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with the prop gun during the rehearsal. After the accident, the crew members rushed Hutchins to the hospital, but she was already dead. The fire, or rather the misfire, also severely injured the director, Souza.
After the accident, the film was in a lot of trouble. Alec and the armorer faced an involuntary manslaughter case, resulting in the armorer being held accountable and imprisoned. Although the film’s shooting temporarily halted, the production eventually resumed. The film premiered on May 2 and garnered mixed reviews from fans. Apart from the story’s screenplay, the fact that an innocent person lost their life during the shoot still haunts viewers. However, the makers paid their honor to Hutchins in a special way.
Alec Baldwin’s Film, Rust, Pays Tribute To Cinematographer, Hutchins!
None can forget the unfortunate Rust accident. At the end of the film, the director appeared and paid his last tribute to the late cinematographer, followed by the other crew members. They also praised her for her noteworthy dedication and contribution to the film.
The Rust producers also announced that the film’s proceeds will mainly go to Hutchins’ young son. Matthew, Hutchins’s widower, has taken on the role of executive producer for the film. However, he and others still face an unresolved wrongful death suit against The Baldwins star.
Alec Baldwin’s Western Film, Rust’s Review!
Alec Baldwin’s Western film was recently released in theatres on May 2. It debuted with a mixed review and a 50% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie has over 20 reviews at the moment and will probably have more over time. It doesn’t have any user ratings for us to measure the audience score. However, over time, The Baldwins fans will get the exact statistics. If one goes by the Rotten Tomatoes reviews, many critics are praising the film for its cinematic beauty and craftsmanship.
They loved the cinematography for Hutchins’ work. However, they also critiqued the film for its predictable storytelling. Many reviews highlight that the film moves at a slow pace and lacks the emotional impact it needs. While many praise its Western genre elements, they believe the filmmakers could have portrayed these aspects more effectively on screen. There is another section of viewers who think that they can’t look past the tragedy and the fact that a person lost their life during the shoot.
No one in particular talked about Alec’s acting, but they did not even criticize him, so maybe that’s a plus. It took the makers four years to move on from the tragic accident and bring the film to theatres. Interestingly, the film also follows a plot where a teenage boy accidentally shoots someone, and then his grandfather helps him to prove his innocence and run away from the authorities.
The film occasionally feels lost as we explore other characters’ roles in this journey, but it keeps a strong enough focus for overall impact. It is a one-time watch, keeping Hutchins in mind. Toward the end, it also pays a special tribute to the diva, and even the proceeds from the film go to her family. Stay tuned to TV Season & Spoilers for further updates about The Baldwins.
