CriticsCritics: 66
AudienceAudience: 7.6

After a job falls through in a remote Western town, an accountant becomes entangled in violence and goes on the run. Wounded and pursued by hired killers, he finds an unexpected guide who leads him through a strange, spiritual journey across a stark frontier.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like surreal, atmospheric westerns with dark humor and patience-testing ambiguity; Not for you if you prefer clear plots, brisk pacing, or conventional genre storytelling.
