Angel and the Badman
61Watch it awake.
Mercy is the offer. PG-13 blood and a brothel keep it at 61. Watch it awake, not with a young child.

The review
A wounded outlaw is carried onto a ranch. The rancher's daughter, Penny, offers him mercy and a life that is not the gun. A marshal and the gang he ran with are both closing in, and he has to decide which man he is. That is the story Angel published for this 2026 remake of the 1947 film, and it is the story this desk scored. Zachary Levi plays Quirt Evans. Meg Fraser plays Penny. Neal McDonough is Laredo. Tommy Lee Jones is Marshal McClintock. Julio Quintana directed. We did not invent a sermon the listing did not print, and we did not sit in the theater.
It is not a children's picture. Angel's own note rates it PG-13 for violence, bloody images, suggestive material, and language, and names a brothel and an implied sexual threat. Their Guild will not offer a title under 70 on their guide, which bars nudity, sex on screen, the F-word, and the misuse of God's name in their originals. Their 70 is not these eight questions. Reviews called the remake thin beside the 1947 film. The number here is 61: sit through it awake, or leave it. A zero would have meant we had no story. We had one.

Live Historic number 61. Yours can differ.
The glance
Temperance is the thin one.
Is appetite shown and then put down, or are you being trained to want the next one?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
High Noon
74 instead of 61
High Noon is still a western film, and it scores 74 instead of 61. What you gain is courage: He walks the street alone.
The eight
- 6Industry
Ranch work, a marshal's job, and the outlaw's trade are the work the story is about.
- 7Household
A daughter takes a wounded man into the ranch and offers him a life, not a speech.
- 6Piety
Mercy is the offer. Conscience can stop him. The listing does not print a sermon.
- 7Courage
He has to choose the life he would miss, with a marshal and his old gang both coming.
- 6Republic
A marshal is the law in the story. The question is whether the outlaw still owes the town.
- 5Temperance
PG-13 blood, a brothel, and an implied threat. The want is shown. It is not the teacher.
- 6Truth
The decision is whether he will admit the man he has been. That bill is the plot.
- 6Stewardship
What he can leave is a life that is not the gun, on a ranch someone else kept.
