Trivia
John Travolta's character part was loosely based on B.J. Wheeler, a real-life marshal from Clovis, NM.

Goofs
Marshal Clyde Martin (John Travolta) questions whether Paul deserted the army when fighting Indians in Kansas or Oklahoma, since the Civil War was over. Oklahoma was called Indian Territory until 1890, and wouldn't have been referred to as Oklahoma until after the Indian wars were over.

Quotes
Paul: A man can only take so much.

Good bloody western

Greetings from Lithuania.

"In a Valley of Violence" (2016) made with by ~ 8 actors and on a budget ~20 times smaller then "The Magnificent Seven" (2016) which i saw recently, is like ~4 times more involving and better then "The Magnificent". And basically they both have very similar premises, but boy oh boy what do more compelling writing and directing can make for a final result - film itself. Its not that "In a Valley of Violence" is a perfect film, its not, but loved its ~45 min. highly and after i understood where everything is moving to and i didn't get any surprises from that point, i still was involved into this simple and many times already seen story. This is what good movie making is all about.

Overall, "In a Valley of Violence" isn't original, nor it is highly superbly made, but it gives to you exactly what it promises - a good old fashion western with some blood and etc. Its far from great, but it is a pretty good one.
