The Bygone

I knew this was a film from the present, but my goodness how this looked like a good ol' wild west cowboy love story, so if it hadnt been for the motorized wheels, the wind turbines and the galloping gerties, i wouldve accepted it. in a way it reflects the modern day wild west up the in the northern states , that attracts oil workers to come in steems, and with the steem the hardware store and the prostitutes for lust and entertainment are following close.

because its a story about one of theso prostitutes, and a native ranchers son whos has been a cowboy from the day he could straddle a horse. clashing togeter under serious circumstances he falls in love and promise her protection at the ranch. but the pimp wont allow that to happen and then the race is on.

there are some really ravishing bar fights and a lot of unfairness against the indian dame and the cowboy himself. the acting are merely great not superb. the spirit of the movie are gloomy , grey, dark and harsh visually and emotionally, so you are not entering a comedy, thats for sure.

but the grumpy old man have seen lots of films worse , also better ones, but it stings, thats for sure wether you like it or not. its a recommend

A captivating drama following kip, a young cowboy, as he tries to find and save a young woman being held captive. The cinematography was well done, the acting pretty good, and the storyline had a nice flow. I found myself drawn into the story and into the characters. It was obviously low budget, but well done.

Well acted and keeps you interested. But...unoriginal, predictable, and unrealistic.

The movie is well directed and there is some nice locations. The cast is not very well known, but they did an okay job I think. Its not a blockbuster, but it kept me interested all though some scenes could have been better.

The message the movie has is a good one. As in putting awareness on something many may not be aware of. Like how native Americans are being exploited - especially females in this case. As the opening text tells us, way more than any other group of females.

The movie is dramatic, has characters who try to do their best (well the good guys and gals that is) - but is it enough to fight back the ugliness and badness they have to face? Will there be something good that comes out of it? Apart from those viewing realizing how extreme some people can be - and how evil too.

Not an easy topic and not an easy movie therefor ... maybe not your thing which would totally be fine. Just be aware what you are going to watch.
