The Last Rites of Ransom Pride is a 2010 Western starring Lizzy Caplan, Cote de Pablo, Kris Kristofferson, and Dwight Yoakam, whose plot revolves around a female outlaw's efforts to retrieve her boyfriend's body from northern Mexico and bury him in Texas.It is 1912, and Juliette Flowers (Caplin) runs a gun smuggling operation with her boyfriend Ransom Pride (Scott Speedman). When Ransom is killed in a deal gone bad, his body is taken by Maria La Morena, a Santa Muerte bruja (witch) in revenge for the death of her brother, a Catholic priest who was killed in the crossfire. Determined to give Ransom a decent burial, Juliette rides to Texas to enlist the help of his younger brother Champ. She also confronts Ransom's father, ex-Confederate bushwacker-turned-preacher Reverend Early Pride (Yoakam). Believing that Juliette intends to give Champ to the Bruja, Reverend Pride seeks aid from another ex-bushwacker, Shepherd Graves (Kristofferson), who sends his unstable nephew John (Jason Priestley) and another ex-bushwacker named Matthew (W. Earl Brown) to ride after them. Pride soon decides to track them down himself, and gives chase in his new automobile. The chase turns into a surreal odyssey with Juliette and Champ getting help from several unusual characters including a retired Buffalo Soldier on a motorcycle and a troupe of circus freaks led by Peter Dinklage. | |

It Works Better with Bullets: Ransom Pride is selling automatic pistols to gang of Mexican bandits when their leader decides it would easier just to kill Ransom with his own gun. Unfortunately for him, Ransom wasn't foolish enough to hand his a loaded pistol. | |

Instant Drama, Just Add Tracheotomy: When bandits break into the church where they are sleeping, Champ catches a brutal blow to the throat from a rifle butt. After the bandits are killed, Sergeant performs an emergency tracheotomy on Champ; explaining to Juliette that Champ's windpipe is filling with blood and if he doesn't relive the pressure, Champ will choke before they can get him to medical attention. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones | |
The Last Rites of Ransom Pride / int_63d861f8 | comment |
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: A major theme. The Bruja's brother was a Catholic priest. She doesn't share his faith, but still loved him and wants vengeance for his death. Early Pride dearly loved his wife and tried to reform himself for her. Her Death by Childbirth in giving birth to Champ hurt him badly and left him an alcoholic. Though an abusive father, he still loves his sons on some level, is devastated by Ransom's death, and is motivated entirely by his desire to keep Champ safe. Juliette Flowers' devotion to Ransom is very sweet, but she is no saint herself. It is left ambiguous whether she really intends to trade Champ's life for Ransom's body as Reverend Pride fears, or take it by force with his help. Ransom was a murdering, swindling, cheating smuggler who wanted to make enough money to get his little brother away from their abusive father. | |
