Slow West
This
movie came highly rated by critics. A well-bred son of a Scottish
Laird follows his lady-love to the American West. Ill-equipped to
deal with the Wild West he is totally out of his element. As one
crusty old codger cusses, “He's totally unmarked.” The movie
becomes a series of chase scenes on horseback as packs of cut-throats
and other blaggards follow because the gal and her father have a
price on their heads. There are no good guys here as the body count
mounts higher and higher. Novel that New Zealand stands in for the
Western US. The cinematography is fantastic.
