"Mysterious Circumstances, The Death of Meriwether Lewis", is the story of the tragic and historic event, the death of legendary explorer Meriwether Clark in Baldwyn Mississippi. The film is full of shady figures during cold and dark times many years ago. A real "who done it" featuring love, action and of course history.
We were glued to our seats throughout the film wondering what's next.
The movie was even a bit spooky!
I loved the dog in this film too. He was amazing in the role he played.
We enjoyed this movie thoroughly!
The case is still unsolved and the worst part of the movie is that random, sometimes incredibly stupid stories are made up though two hours of what could have happened......really.....so we get five totally different random stories about what could have happened on the night that he died.
I kept waiting for a conclusion to this stupid movie, but there was not one....just make believe stories....a couple of which were not even believable Why not make up ten stories and make the movie four hours long....two hours wasted....no end.
And I remain so.
After less than 30 minutes, I couldn't take anymore of Governor Meriwether's outrageous and "WAY over the top" antics. I felt as if I were watching a movie from the 1930s with the massively exaggerated movements in whatever he was doing.
The dog was a delight - as are all animals, but he couldn't save Meriweather's performance.
The cell phone text notices going off randomly were also an unwelcomed bonus. If I were a betting person, I'd bet it was the director's phone.
Again - I DID want to like this film!! I tried! "They" just made it impossible.
The dog got it an extra star.
The casting was excellent and the costumes were perfect for the time too. The cold season added a touch too along with the roaring fire.
Absolutely loved the animals in the movie! The dog was very well trained and his part made total sense leading the way on the trails and being a protector for Meriwether!
