I enjoy Westerns and I can tolerate some pretty cheap ones on Prime or Crackle too but this was not engaging. As others have said it is a walking cliche revenge flick but with stiff moments and bad or bizarre dialogue at times and veers into outright cringey on a couple of occasions. Wait until you get to the "fear" speech and devil speech. Cage isn't very good in it, "me psychopath, me tough, me disinterested, me no speak much" is a bit boring and has zero range. The addition of a potentially autistic or sociopathic child could have been interesting if the dialogue and plot were better, but it ain't. Up against an Oscar winner, Nick Searcy is the standout performance in the film but he was given little to work with. The kid has an acting future but her character just didn't engage me. Empathy disorders will do that. If you can get it for free give it a try but don't pay for it.
