Filmmaker John Hillcoat has come out with a digital Red Dead Redemption short film adaptation, and Game Rant is here to provide you with both the goods, and some feedback - in case you missed the original broadcast.
Firstly, it should be noted that the film primarily uses in-game cutscenes to progress the storyline - ultimately an adaptation of an early story segment in the actual Rockstar game.

The film is half an hour long and was edited by Barry Alexander Brown - and we’ve got to admit, for a game that hasn’t been out too long, it’s impressive to see that it could provide enough content for a half-hour film (especially since the film only covers the first act), and with impressive editing to boot.
Without further ado, here’s the film:
