The Bygone

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.

Seriously. Is this a joke? From the opening graphic to the closing credits this makes "Springtime for Hitler" look like " Citizen Kane"

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.

The story of sex trafficking in the Dakota oil fields involving indigenous girls is very disturbing. The depraved person behind the crimes seems very contrived.

Ok writing, good directing and acting. It does have some flaws but holds its own as a thriller.

The story takes place in a rural area where the oil industry erodes the traditional country/cowboy life and brings big city crime. The environment is not clearly portrayed, but the characters are developed enough to not feel a stereotypes, and the story feels realistic and interesting.

At the center of the story are young people from the bottom of the social ladder, unable to find a place and victimized by various corrupt characters. That's as much as we are shown about their environment, except for other unsavory characters and a handful of honest people trying to make a living and helping.

Within the above limitations, the scenes and dialogs are well developed and directed, and the plot twist and turns frequently making this also an action flick that holds interest to its end.
