Movie Review: Jonah Hex

Movie Review: Jonah Hex
Near the end of the Civil War, Confederate officer Jonah Hex turns on his commander, Quentin Turnbull, as Turnbull is about to lay waste to a hospital full of innocents. As a result of this, Hex in turn kills Turnbull's brother, Jeb. The war is over and Hex is living a peaceful life with his wife and son. Quentin Turnbull catches up to Hex and enacts his revenge upon him, killing his wife and son and forcing Hex to watch as it happens. In a final moment of torture, Turnbull takes a branding iron and leaves his mark on Jonah's face. Left for dead, Hex is revived by an Indian tribe and as a result of their rituals, now has the ability to talk to the dead.
