A film that breaks new ground. Part allegorical, part science fiction and hugely entertaining. An excellent cast that does justice to a story that brings a new perspective to an old story about the gold rush in mid 19th century America.
Old fashioned greed coupled with remorseless murders and a complete lack of law and order makes for a stimulating view of an emergent nation on the cusp of a period before the war that would galvanise them into a semblence of maturity.
