Film Review – Heads or Tails

John C. Reilly only works sporadically these days, and he hasn’t spent much time on the big screen in recent years, with his last starring role dating back to 2018’s “Holmes and Watson.” He returns in “Heads or Tails,” portraying Buffalo Bill Cody in an Italian production from co-writer/directors Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis, who attempt to merge wild west fantasy with spaghetti western traditions in an askew character study about outlaws on the run. Reilly brings needed color to the endeavor, offering a memorable take on Cody’s theatrical ways, and acting in general is quite strong in the picture, which highlights a number of itchy performances. “Heads or Tails” has texture, and there’s an interestingly twisty tale to follow, but the helmers aren’t terribly focused on pacing, leaving the viewing experience lumpy as adventure is repeatedly interrupted by screen stillness, losing early momentum.
