THIS Is The Perfect Red Dead Movie

2. Emily Blunt As Sadie Adler

Just like Abraham Reyes, we never got any solid confirmation as to Sadie's age. We can assume that she was somewhere in her mid-20s to early-30s in 1899, meaning she'd be somewhere between 40 and 45 in 1914 - Emily Blunt is 37.

Blunt is one of the best actresses working today. She's a hot commodity, and she always finds herself somewhere on a fan's casting list for SOMETHING. She can do vulnerable and sensitive, and on a dime, she can switch to intense, powerful, and authoritative. All of that is wrapped up in a cloak of world-weariness - her eyes betray an old soul who's seen far more than she should have.

Sadie Adler is a broken woman. The atrocities committed against her and her late husband tore her apart, only for the Van Der Linde Gang - and a healthy dose of righteous anger and ferocity - to put her back together. The old Sadie Adler was long dead by the time the credits rolled. In her place was a warrior - a fighter with no place in the world, going where the wind took her in search of meaning.

If Emily Blunt can't bring that, no one can.
