The Rust trailer is hard to watch, for obvious reasons

It doesn’t help that Rust is about Lucas McCalister (Patrick Scott McDermott), an orphan who accidentally kills a rancher and is sentenced to die by hanging. But then, “his estranged grandfather, the notorious outlaw Harland Rust (Baldwin), breaks him out of jail and takes him on the run toward Mexico,” reads an official synopsis (via Variety). “As they flee across the unforgiving wilderness, the fugitive pair must outrun the determined U.S. Marshal Wood Helm (Josh Hopkins) and a ruthless bounty hunter named Preacher (Travis Fimmel).” In a statement to People, Rust Movie Productions LLC representative Melina Spadone called the film “a story of the ripples that a single violent act can send through generations and the hard-fought redemption to be found in a world where the line between good and evil can often be unclear.”

The trailer is, obviously, full of guns. Gun violence does seem to be a major component of the film, and it was probably unavoidable to depict it in the trailer. However, that the final scene depicts Baldwin, in what sure looks like the set in which Hutchins was killed, cocking his gun and saying “Heaven ain’t waiting on either one of us” is… well, the word “distasteful” comes to mind. Regardless, the film is dedicated to Hutchin’s memory, and she will be honored in the film’s closing credits. The film will arrive in select theaters and on digital on-demand on May 2.
