Making use of the majestic landscape, distinctive culture, and Wild West anarchy of this young, rarely seen onscreen country adds drama, mystery, and surprise to a time-honored narrative. The period detail is impeccable, the writing clear, concise and efficient, and the world fleshed-out and lived-in, all of which contribute to what is ultimately an engaging and expressive journey into darkness. |
