Overview
A widowed farmer and his son warily take in a mysterious, injured man with a satchel of cash. When a posse of men claiming to be the law come for the money, the farmer must decide who to trust. Defending a siege of his homestead, the farmer reveals a talent for gun-slinging that surprises everyone calling his true identity into question.
Westerns, probably, should be like this, about survival, the drama of the echo of the civil war and with their plot twists that make you gasp. The picture has a lot to say and give to the sophisticated viewer. It is the script that speaks to cinemafiles and critics.
