A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
Based on author James H. Tevis' Arizona in the 50s. Natural dangers and hostile Indians create problems for travelers in the West in the 1850s; a young man almost killed in an Indian raid looks to a frontier scout, Mose Carson, for an education. They get involved in a plan to sell wild mustangs to the Army. The edited-down theatertical release of a 3-part miniseries that aired on television.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
