I liked this film for many reasons. For one, many Native actors were involved, although it was a little on the Hollywood side. Another reason: Sandrine Holt. Even though she's not Native in real life, she may as well be one because she looks way more like a First Nations person than anything else. I love how she portrays Native people in films!
I'm surprised that this one was completely directed and produced by Italians! Why on earth would that be the case? I mean it's a historically fictional Western. Fortunately it's not another one of those spaghetti westerns where Clint Eastwood does his heroic stuff, although I like Clint Eastwood too.
One thing did bother me about Johnny Lowen, it was obvious that he lip-synced his dialogue. Now, I think it was really dumb to have Italian actors and actresses in this one because it ruined the film. Obviously he can't speak a word of English in real life so I just feel that it was stupid to have a voice-over come in and speak for him!! I noticed that he was the only one who lip-synced his words. Other than that, it's still a fine film. The Native actors were great as they usually are and Sandrine Holt was also great.
But what I found strange is WHY Jack Sikora confronted Johnny Lowen. The reasons for this were never given. Perhaps it was one of things where the viewers had to figure out on their own. Some films will do that where the audience draws their own conclusions. That was an important detail that the audience had every right to know.
Anyways...... that's why I gave this one an 8 out of 10.
