The movie is not precise in its geography. Most of the location filming was in Louisiana, which is not named, perhaps because that might make it hard to explain its vast deserts and dusty frontier town. |

It must have been hard labor for Josh Brolin to get in the makeup chair for hours to capture the disfigured look of DC Comics anti-hero Jonah Hex. Due respect to the talented Brolin, it's much harder to sit in a theater and watch this crapfest. |

...the 81 minutes (including credits) of Jonah Hex footage that made it to the screen look like something assembled under a tight deadline, and possibly under the influence. |

...too bad the movie didn't indulge its spookier, supernatural elements more, instead of relying on action movie cliche. |

...it’s hard to have any thoughts while watching Jonah Hex – the cranium-crushing soundtrack takes care of that. |
