To save her, Jack enlists the help of a crafty bounty hunter named Reginald Jones, a grave-digging alcoholic son of an ex-slave, and a street-smart prostitute.

60 of 85 · most liked firstI just watched The Thicket, movie based on a @joerlansdale.bsky.social book. Liked it a lot! Western with Juliet Lewis as a really fucked up outlaw and Peter Dinklage as a bounty hunter. Great acting by both of them.

unlabelledView post →I had the opportunity to take in the film adaptation of @joerlansdale.bsky.social's *The Thicket*. A very personal and dark tale set in an eerily beautiful frozen landscape. Peter Dinklage & Juliette Lewis play two sides of the "Broken Stranger with a Mysterious Past"... tubitv.com/movies/10001...
unlabelledView post →Rewatching THE THICKET, based on the @joerlansdale.bsky.social novel of the same name. I really enjoyed the movie the first time I watched it. Currently streaming on Prime.
unlabelledView post →The new film from Tubi, THE THICKET, is in theaters now, and it's an icy, dicey western with exceptional performances from Peter Dinklage and a scene-stealing Juliette Lewis. My review is at The Wrap!
unlabelledView post →Another movie on the watch list popped up free - The Thicket on Tubi. Stars Peter Dinklage as a bounty hunter and Juliette Lewis as the bad guy. Nice job by Lewis doing something different, and Dinklage is his usual great self. Nothing surprising, but it’s worth watching for the performance.

unlabelledView post →@joerlansdale.bsky.social is amazing to dive into. The Hap and Leonard series (in order as much as possible) are a must. Also highly recommend "The Thicket" (which Peter Dinklage optioned as a movie that is now on Tubi at tubitv.com/movies/10001...). "The Bottoms" is also high on the list.
unlabelledView post →Tonight’s film is The Thicket, based on the novel by Joe Lansdale.
unlabelledView post →@joerlansdale.bsky.social the Thicket is a fantastic story! It's exactly the kind of western story I enjoy. It's rare that I enjoy both the movie & book, but I am glad that the book had a happier ending.

unlabelledView post →Have you seen The Thicket which came out this year? It doesn't precisely fit this genre but both the hero and villain of the movie are women. It's very good and got very little notice sadly. boxd.it/dR2k
unlabelledView post →Movie game theme is films adapted from books I liked. Nuggets win - I watch The Thicket ( by Joe R. Lansdale ) Nuggets lose - I watch Devil’s Peak ( adapted from Where All Light Tends To Go by David Joy ) #MileHighBasketball
unlabelledView post →I feel bad when a movie gets a ton of love but for me The Thicket did not cut it. boxd.it/8wo6rn
unlabelledView post →This is the part of the post where I tell you what a near perfect film The Thicket is. It feels like it would companion well with something like Slow West, its ending is a buck shot blast for the myths we tell ourselves.
unlabelledView post →MJ’s @supershah10.bsky.social says, “If THE THICKET proves anything, it’s that western movies can still be refreshing and Peter Dinklage remains to be one of the best actors of our time.” #TheThicket is now in theaters. www.moviejawn.com/home/2024/9/...
unlabelledView post →Watched THE THICKET tonight. The novel by Joe Lansdale is probably in my top five by him, so we're talking pretty rarefied air. The movie is hit or miss. Dinklage is (obviously) perfectly cast and delivers. Juliette Lewis is great. But everything around them is oddly restrained. As if none of... 1/?
unlabelledView post →Another movie night in the Secret Cinema and tonight we're kicking off with The Thicket (2024)
unlabelledView post →They did a great job with getting The Thicket out there. I loved that movie.
unlabelledView post →Watched the Thicket. This western is based on the Joe R. Lansdale novel, which is one I have not read yet. This movie is on Tubi so free with ads, although you can rent it as well. Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis are both great, in it. Lewis plays a great old-west bandit.
unlabelledView post →Just finished watching 'The Thicket' on Tubi. I hadn't heard of it before but decided to give it a chance because of the cast. Pretty decent movie, a nice bit of entertainment for a few hours, especially if you like your westerns a bit on the bleak side. #FilmSky
unlabelledView post →THE THICKET, by Joe Lansdale. A beautiful piece of work, got done truly dirty by the movie released a couple years ago. (It’s a dandy movie—it’s just not THE THICKET.)
unlabelledView post →The Thicket A simple revenge film within a western that has some good cinematography, acting and action scenes with Peter Dinklage easily being the best part of it which makes up for the characters not given much development desipte of their backstories
unlabelledView post →Finally watched The Thicket tonight! I loved the @joerlansdale.bsky.social book and the movie delivered. Definitely check it out.
unlabelledView post →It’s a cheap trick the lost cause death in an action/noir/western film but The Thicket has one of the best of recent memory.
unlabelledView post →I’d recommend just about anything from JRL. The Thicket (which had a film adaptation this year as well), The Bottoms, A Fine Dark Line, Edge of Dark Water, Paradise Sky, etc
unlabelledView post →Today’s movie: “The Thicket”.
unlabelledView post →It’s why I’m actually rather excited for the new Peter Dinklage movie, The Thicket, which is a Western set in early 1900s East Texas (based on a Joe Lansdale novel, naturally).
unlabelledView post →New Alan Garner hits this autumn. Plus a movie adaptation of Joe Lansdale's The Thicket. youtu.be/h3L6JE6FMwI?... Things are looking up.
unlabelledView post →The Thicket is so good that I can't believe it's a Tubi film. 🐎 #filmsky letterboxd.com/mewmedic/fil...
unlabelledView post →Now watching The Thicket, 2024.
unlabelledView post →This has been the best movie year since probably 2017. Sinners, Superman, 28 Years Later, Companion, The Thicket, Final Destination Bloodlines, HTTYD live action, M:I Final Reckoning and F1–best to good—so far and I liked all of them.
unlabelledView post →Finally watching the adaptation of @joerlansdale.bsky.social's The Thicket & I had to pause to comment on how great the artwork was on the opening credits. If the rest of the movie is half as good, I'm going to enjoy this. And having read the book, I fully expect to.
unlabelledView post →This was a movie called The Thicket. Limited release last year; I had to scramble to see it on the big screen. Worth the effort.

unlabelledView post →I saw a movie last night made by the streaming service Tubi called "The Thicket" with Juliette Lewis and Peter Dinklage. She was fucking unrecognizable and he was outstanding. I didn't really think it'd be any good, but I was genuinely surprised. Which metal singer played a supporting role, you ask?
unlabelledView post →Had friends over and posted late so already kinda a movie game cheat The Thicket was a re-read in 2024 but it made my best of list because it whips ass. Way back when I read it the first time I knew they would get Peter Dinklange. And Devil’s Peak has Billy Bob. A cheat as movies go in my book.
unlabelledView post →Unsolicited Movie Review: The Thicket Brutal & bleak western set in the early 20th century, based on a book I haven’t read. Juliette Lewis is insanely good & Peter Dinklage is adept AF. 7/10 if you like westerns; a more colorful, less whimsical "Dead Man" or a more exciting "Bone Tomahawk".
unlabelledView post →The Thicket and Hello Universe were the only re-reads on the list this year. The Thicket so I could get ready for the film adaptation - and Hello Universe so I could read it to my youngest nephew.
