Stephen McHattie is good in everything I see him in, and this is no exception. My only complaint is that it's harder to understand him when he affects an Irish accent.
McHattie plays Mac, a former colleague of Lazarus who believes Lazarus left him and a few others to be captured by Confederates and put into Andersonville Prison Camp.
Mac was evidently a government man, too, because he knows enough to telegram Major Gaffney, the fed who wants Lazarus dead or alive, and offer to deliver him up.
Mac tells Gaffney to meet him at a deserted mine in Purgatory, Arkansas to take possession of Lazarus.
Then Mac tells a cock and bull story to Lazarus to get him to go to Purgatory.
It's a bit more complicated than that, but suffice to say there is a deal of action at the mine, including explosives and gunfire.
The conceits in this one are a bit too much for me to swallow. But it's worth seeing for the glimpses into Lazarus' past, which comes in black & white flashbacks, and through discussions with Mac.
