You got to get the herd leader
8 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Will Andrews (Fred Hechinger) quits Harvard and travels to Kansas in 1874. He meets up with a man named McDonald (Paul Raci) who is acquainted with his father. McDonald is too busy for Will who wants to go on a buffalo hunt to see our country. At the saloon, he finds Miller (Nicolas Cage) who is a buffalo hunter. Will asks to come along, but the local herds are too thin. He knows where there is a great herd in Indian County in Colorado. He needs money for the trip, which is about all Will happens to have. He hires a skinner and a camp man as they set out in late fall, a bad time to go, so close to winter.

This is a Nicolas Cage film I will soon forget. It was all about the futility of hunting buffalo as we see by the ending. There is not a lot of action and it is mostly men talking and the dialogue and actors couldn't carry the film.

Guide: F-word. Near sex. No nudity.
