About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like lean, suspenseful westerns about false accusation and shifting loyalties, especially if Along the Great Divide or Man with the Gun worked for you; Not for you if you want big-scale frontier action.
Pros: tight suspense; strong wrong-man setup; tense small-town paranoia | Cons: low-budget feel; some awkward stretches; heavy-handed allegory
