6 Years Later, Kevin Costner’s Most Brutal Western Crime Thriller Is a Global Streaming Smash Hit
Not every Western-leaning thriller gets its flowers right away. Let Him Go had strong reviews and a great cast when it first came out, but it never became one of those movies people talked about nonstop. Netflix is changing that a bit now. The Kevin Costner drama has quietly become one of those “wait, this is actually really good” streaming finds.
The film is currently available on Netflix in some territories and has been highlighted as one of Costner’s stronger streaming performers in recent coverage. Based on the Larry Watson novel, it follows a retired sheriff and his wife as they try to rescue their grandson from a dangerous family.
The full main cast of Let Him Go includes Costner as George Blackledge, a retired sheriff; Diane Lane as Margaret Blackledge, his fiercely determined wife; Kayli Carter as Lorna Blackledge, their widowed daughter-in-law; Lesley Manville as Blanche Weboy, the terrifying matriarch of the Weboy family; Will Brittain as Donnie Weboy; Jeffrey Donovan as Bill Weboy; Booboo Stewart as Peter Dragswolf; and Bradley Stryker as Sheriff Nevelson.
