    His death is still unsolved

    So why create a movie about the death of Lewis of Lewis and Clark, when no one has any idea how he died?

    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.

    History wrapped up in a mysterious event.

    A period in history that I never knew of. I learned a thing or too despite my advanced age. This is a good enjoyable flick.

    "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!

    Thought provoking; Don't expect answers

    The stories of Lewis and Clark are fascinating, but this movie takes us on a journey on the death of Meriwether Lewis which remains unsolved.

    The movie is not a happy story, certainly not humorous, as it offers different versions of how Lewis may have actually died. Evan Williams portrays at least three different versions of Lewis -- depressed, mentally exhausted and broken; confident and dignified; and lustful and careless -- as each possibility is explored.

    It starts out slow and odd. In fact, I stopped watching it the first time at about 20 minutes but decided to rewatch it after learning more about the questions that continue of this remarkable man's demise.

    The movie does not offer an answer, but instead leaves the viewer thinking -- and hopefully wanting to learn more about this explorer's life and death.

    *I give Rex the dog a "10" for his performance as Seaman.

    Poor

    Poorly written. Poor dialogue. Poor acting. Poor filmography. Everyone is "clean!" and living in the backwoods of the US. M. Lewis is played as if he is n imbecile. You can hear something buzzing in the background of several scenes. Another reviewer suggested it was a cell phone. Not sure.

    I do not blame this on the actors. They could only work with what they were given. A remake, perhaps with a whole different script seems in order.

    I am not certain why the director and producer put this out...other than perhaps they got funding so, "what the heck?"

    All of the early "10 star" reviews seem to be phony, at best.

    Really Awful

    I agree with the "over-the-top" performance by Evan Williams. Reminded me of a high-school play. And the woman said, "It was very cold, even for October". Yet not a single character was wearing a coat? As others have commented, it does nothing to solve this historical mystery. I suppose one positive thing is, it made me research actual events about this man's untimely death. Apparently it is yet unsolved, and his family wanted his body exhumed, 100+ years after the fact. I'm in agreement with those who say suicide is unlikely. I gave up on this film about 20 minutes in. Good luck to you if you hold on longer.

    • Trivia
      The cabin used is named "Dog Trot" and is near Bay Spring Lake on the Tenn-Tom Waterway. The film crew were denied using a real fire inside the cabin due to risk of fire. In one outside scene, a distant cell tower can be seen.
    • Goofs
      In the second scenario, Mrs Grinder says her husband is a farmer. But where is the farm? There are no crops, no plowed fields, no livestock other than a few chickens.
