Our take
Hellfire is an R-rated action western about a drifter who confronts a ruthless crime boss terrorizing a small town. Expect gun violence, assault references, frequent hell and damn with bursts of f-word profanity, cocaine-trafficking dialogue, and a funeral flashback. The tone is classic vigilante action with a mysterious past. Best for older teens and adults
Uplifting themes
Standing up to bullies and taking responsibility for others Nomada risks himself to free a town from a crime boss
