From the moment the cinematic titan that was Michael K. Williams comes onto the screen in the perpetually grim yet frequently gorgeous revisionist Western that is Surrounded, it is as if the whole world fades away for us to get one final glimpse of his greatness. Just as was the case in every layered performance he gave in a life that was cut tragically short, there is a gravity to him that grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go.

Williams Take on the Wild West in a Trailer for 'Surrounded' When juxtaposed against Bell, whose Tommy fluctuates between unbridled rage and sinister deception, Wright is the grounding point to the entire experience. It is hard to imagine the film working nearly as well as it does without her holding it together. You believe every moment where Mo is staring down death in how Wright captures the character’s steely determination to survive the relentlessly hostile world.

Though it is a small role which is painfully brief, he alters the trajectory of the story by the power of his presence alone. Discussing his character requires a great degree of withholding, but Williams makes him into a memorable one. Not only does he provide a surprising injection of humor, there is a menace to him that is hidden in the light mirth.
