(1:17; in Spanish with English subtitles) “In a Valley of Violence”: Indie horror director Ti West lassos the spaghetti Western with this conventional, sometimes gory, vengeance flick starring Ethan Hawke. It’s a classic scenario as Hawke’s loner guy gets into a dustup in the corrupt dusty town of Denton. John Travolta steals the film as a shifty sheriff.
