Avis à la une
I do not blame this on the actors. They could only work with what they were given. A remake, perhaps with a whole different script seems in order.
I am not certain why the director and producer put this out...other than perhaps they got funding so, "what the heck?"
All of the early "10 star" reviews seem to be phony, at best.
The case is still unsolved and the worst part of the movie is that random, sometimes incredibly stupid stories are made up though two hours of what could have happened......really.....so we get five totally different random stories about what could have happened on the night that he died.
I kept waiting for a conclusion to this stupid movie, but there was not one....just make believe stories....a couple of which were not even believable Why not make up ten stories and make the movie four hours long....two hours wasted....no end.
The movie is not a happy story, certainly not humorous, as it offers different versions of how Lewis may have actually died. Evan Williams portrays at least three different versions of Lewis -- depressed, mentally exhausted and broken; confident and dignified; and lustful and careless -- as each possibility is explored.
It starts out slow and odd. In fact, I stopped watching it the first time at about 20 minutes but decided to rewatch it after learning more about the questions that continue of this remarkable man's demise.
The movie does not offer an answer, but instead leaves the viewer thinking -- and hopefully wanting to learn more about this explorer's life and death.
*I give Rex the dog a "10" for his performance as Seaman.
The casting was excellent and the costumes were perfect for the time too. The cold season added a touch too along with the roaring fire.
Absolutely loved the animals in the movie! The dog was very well trained and his part made total sense leading the way on the trails and being a protector for Meriwether!
The film eludes to many different possible outcomes without ever stating to know more than is common knowledge. The film is an experience of it's own kind. It's almost an Anthology of possible scenarios. The funnest part is going through each story and spotting the similarities and differentiating between them.
What comes off as a passion project to many will also come to be a lovable classic in the homes of many who love a good mystery and to those who love theorizing.

- AnecdotesThe cabin used is named "Dog Trot" and is near Bay Spring Lake on the Tenn-Tom Waterway. The film crew were denied using a real fire inside the cabin due to risk of fire. In one outside scene, a distant cell tower can be seen.
- GaffesIn the second scenario, Mrs Grinder says her husband is a farmer. But where is the farm? There are no crops, no plowed fields, no livestock other than a few chickens.
