Notes et avis

Really surprisingly good movie. It could easily be called a modern day "Grapes of Wrath". My only complaint is the completely inappropriate title. I don't see the connection between the title and the movie very clearly. Despite this it is a very authentic depiction of the near future conditions in many parts of the western United States and the challenges they will face and are already beginning to experience. Great dramatic well paced plot and acting across the board.

I liked the movie; it was creative. Wasn't the 'best' movie, but it did keep my attention and was a breath of fresh air considering all of the remakes out there.

A futuristic take on the classic western-style narrative. The future isn't so pretty; it avoids a Mad Max style wasteland, but it's bleak nonetheless. The story is what keeps it real. A simple story of ambition, betrayal, and revenge. Young love, tragedy, and everything in between. Solid acting, and an emotional ending. The world stays with you for a while . Really liked it.
