21st Century Western The elusive scoundrels and desperate romantics, cowboys, oilmen and Indians, the incessant struggle of good against evil on the expanses of the prairies of the wild west, against the backdrop of oil rigs and huge high-tech windmills. A modern 21st century western with saloons, bandits, knives, pistols, fights, violence in the smoke of cigars, soaked in the smell of blood and fear.
Twenty-first century. On cowboy farms and Indian reservations inexorably rolls the rink of oil production with big money, thousands of visitors, brothels, bandits, whores and others ' charms ' civilization. A young cowboy saves a bullied Indian woman from being beaten in a brothel, but he cannot rid her of the claims of a scumbag pimp who returns for her time and again. The guy persists. In attempts to save the girl, it turns out that the current prairies are not harmless at all, that a string of cases of violence and unsolved murders stretches for years. Trying to unwind this tangle is worth great sacrifice and incredible effort. . .
The film suggests that nothing in the world changes except the scenery. Cowboys once drove the Indians to reservations, and now oilmen come and survive the cowboys themselves from their farms. Where money comes, there is debauchery and violence, and no matter what century in the yard and what you have under your window - a horse or & #39; Tesla' that on the horizon - a wild prairie or high-tech windmills. And where the world of purity and prairie dweller meets, there will always be a place for a western.
“A low-budget film with a big budget result & #39” – this is how one of the popular publications characterized the success of this film. However, you will not guess about it, since you can scold this film for the abundance of clichés and not the most brilliant script, but you can not but pay tribute to the work of the operator. The harsh beauty of eastern Montana and western Dakota, the grandeur and grandeur of the huge plains, now filled with not only oil, but also wind towers, the sunset, horses, cowboys, Indians and Indians, the interiors of the ranch are filmed so subtly, lovingly and stylishly that each frame can be put on the screensaver. Casting is also excellent - types are verified, women are beautiful, men are courageous. All this creates an excellent background for action, reproducing the atmosphere of the Western.
The plot of the film is original at first, but towards the end it becomes more and more a set of quite predictable clichés, which, however, is typical and expected for a Western.
The result was an original atmospheric modern western, where the action movie, drama, detective, melodrama are involved and dynamically served in modern scenery, which, by the way, is very interesting in itself.
This film left a strange impression - when watching it was sometimes fascinating, sometimes predictable and boring, sometimes inconsistent. I'm sure many people won't like the film, because the script is still ' short'.
Nevertheless, he left me an interesting aftertaste - now and then the images of the prairies, the images of heroes emerge. And their typicality even plays into the hands. Still, it’s nice that the picture managed to create exactly the atmosphere of a Western and follow it, I think that’s what I need to enjoy. So, despite the other flaws, it was enough for me to watch this movie and enjoy it.
