I saw Butcher's Crossing, starring Nicolas Cage-Renfield, Kick_Ass; Fred Hechinger-The White Lotus_tv, News of the World; Xander Berkeley-The Walking Dead_tv, Nikita_tv and Jeremy Bobb-The Continental: From the World of John Wick_tv, Jessica Jones_tv.
This movie is based on a real situation that happened-buffalo massacres-but not on anyone in particular. Fred plays a young Harvard drop out in the 1870's that drops out of school to go explore the world, specifically Colorado. When he arrives in a western town in Colorado, he meets Nicolas, a buffalo hunter that shoots buffaloes and then sells their hides for a living. Fred wants to go on a hunt for the life experience and talks Nicolas into taking him. Xander is their cook on the team and Jeremy is the hide skinner. They trek across the wilderness to find a massive herd but Nicolas goes a little overboard in his shooting-he kills 20 on the first day-and he doesn't want to leave. They miss their chance to leave when Nicolas keeps killing the buffalo and they get snowed in for longer than anticipated-6 to 8 months. Things get interesting with everyone, after some time alone with a focused Nicolas Cage-he actually shaved his head bald for the role. If you are a PETA member, you may not enjoy the wholesale slaughter of the buffalo but no animals were harmed........ It's rated R for language, violence, bloody images and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 45 minutes.
I am a big Nicolas Cage fan so I would probably buy this one on DVD.
