Frank L. gave it a9:
Really interesting and dense take on a sort of New England Western genre. Kristofferson's really good as this sort of force of nature, torpedoes-be-damned whiskey smuggler, and the supporting cast is all strong as well. Some parts seem to come out of nowhere, but overall a very successful film.
Anna B. gave it a2:
Incomprehensible and not well put together.
Dylan S. gave it a0:
Saw it at a film fest where I go to school, horribly shot, horribly acted and written even worse. Avoid at all cost, may be the worst piece of trash I've ever seen. The book may be all well and good, but this was not.
Jon S. gave it a9:
Fantastic cast. Kristofferson nails the character's gritty and increasingly misguided optimism. The kid is solid, and the supporting cast is excellent across the board. I can see how some people might get confused by the magical realist elements, but for audience members who are willing to accept those as part of the whole, it's a rewarding experience.
