The first maybe 40 minutes of the film, (Give or take) seem to be going just fine, but then, the film starts to wrestle with itself. For one thing, I found the camerawork to be a little distracting at times, which is unusual for me. I'm a person who's literally seen thousands of films. I just started to feel that the extremely wide and narrow shots were strange given the context. At times, they took away perspective, and at the same time it made the film feel more modern. Sadly, that is somewhat how the film starts to feel as it goes on. We start to realize we're not watching a story from the late 1800's. Nope, we're watching a modern film with a story that by the time it's all said and done, really feels so unauthentic to its very own story. The killings, the way that they were done, if anything point to the fact that this story is not sufficient to explain what actually happened. The reimagining here is just not thought-out well enough to make much of the audience believe it.
4/10.
