The first half is great. The second half is ehhh


What a great first half. Great acting for Warren Oates and a great pace and then bam! a little after the first half is just slowwwwwwws down. It's a real shame.

Agreed. It was like the writer(s) ran out of ideas. It made no sense for Remy to keep his pack at the river once the barge was gone.

The first half was great indeed. Reminded me Peckinpah. The second half really had the pacing problems. It's little unusual western and overall enjoyable movie.
