One thing I didn’t like about Rust was how it leaned so heavily on familiar Western clichés without offering anything new—predictable plot, flat characters, and a climax that felt more drawn out than dramatic. Visually it was impressive, sure, but the storytelling just didn’t deliver any real emotional punch. Did the movie work for you?
why were there live rounds on set anyway?
Fair question, but the point remains. If you accidentally cause a person’s death, that’s manslaughter.
Furthermore, if there is enough evidence to convict one person, how isn’t there enough proof to convict the person that aimed and pulled the trigger?
I don’t disagree, but also add in powerful friends, a good defense team and incompetent prosecutors as evidence were withheld Source - https://www.nytimes.com/article/alec-baldwin-rust-trial-involuntary-manslaughter.html
