This was a bleak movie, yes. Emile Hirsch also had a terrible Irish accent. But despite some of the more obvious gripes about the movie, this one is well worth the watch.
Sure, the whole undertaker thing might be a little on the nose, but I love the lessons in supply and demand: Cusack kills, Hirsch buries, and suddenly the Californian gold rush comes to a nowhere town.
Another interesting dynamic was the shifting power dynamics between the sheriff, the priest, and the outlaw.
In my opinion this film is thoughtful, entertaining, somewhat well-acted, and well worth the invested time.
