A brutal movie

Rating: 7/10 (18 February 2016)

I don't remember having ever seen any such brutal movie like this, with so many killings in a close space. But it is anyway a good movie though not very good only because the story is not particularly moving or interesting. Fundamentally it deals with a bounty hunter who is taking to a town as his prisoner in a stage coach a woman who had committed a murder, to be presented to justice and probably hanged. For that he will receive 10 thousand dollars as a reward. All this in the middle of a terrible snow storm and an awful cold. What would be an easy task turns out a very complicated one for the appearing of several individuals and the gathering of all the people in some kind of bar cabin in the middle of that stormy wilderness. Later we learn that some were there to wait for the prisoner and free her although they disguise their aim and identities. What has begun to be an apparent cordial relationship among all the people turns soon out on a relation of violent hostility with successive killings and blood everywhere. However, technically it is a very well made movie and very well acted. All the characters are very well characterized and made up in terms of physical appearances, dialogues and action. There are also scenes of great dramatic intensity. It is a movie that has also something to do with human nature.
