How can the studio even distribute this movie after the tragedy? Alec Baldwin acted irresponsible and should have his punishment in prison. Not profit of of his killing in real life.

A tragédia que ocorrera durante a gravação disso aqui era um presságio da bomba de filme que estava sendo produzido. Tirando as locações e a fotografia realmente encantadoras, os atores até se esforçam (Baldwin está ótimo), mas nada do que já não tenhamos visto em muitos filmes e até em séries, com uma tensão que nunca se converte em verdadeira. Muito abaixo da média para o gênero.

It must be said up front: This film is beautifully shot by cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. It’s notorious because this was the project where she was fatally shot with Alec Baldwin holding the gun. After that horrible setback, the film was re-visited with a new DP (Bianca Cline) and completed, especially at the request of Hutchins’ mother. The plot involves a boy (Parick Scott McDermott) who accidentally shoots a man and is condemned to hang. In rides a man who rescues him (Baldwin) and takes him on a ride to safety. This is a dusty road picture set in the 1880s with several different people in pursuit of the duo. Hutchins’ works is truly exceptional with gorgeous landscapes, naturally dark interiors and lovely closeups. Writer/director Joel Souza has penned a script with enjoyably period-appropriate language and sometimes compelling direction. The narrative does ramble and many scenes could have been cut to tighten the effect. Baldwin turns creates a crusty old gunslinger, while McDermott does a commendable job. To fully appreciate the beauty and darkness of the film, it should be seen on the big screen. Otherwise, it’s a rather unoriginal Western with Hutchins’ work as the highlight. The irony is that so many guns are used throughout the film and the scene or location where the accident occurred was not in the final film. NOTE: Stay thru the credits for a coda from the director about the importance of releasing the film in Hutchins’ honor. The doc: Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna is a documentary about the fatal incident, which provides interesting insight.

How can the studio even distribute this movie after the tragedy? I, personally, don't blame Alec Baldwin, I blame the armorer for even having live rounds on the set for any reason, but that woman dies and no one should profit from it.
