    Buffalo Hunting...in the 1800s

    A lot of folks are making some statements that could be misunderstood by most. Buffalo hunting in 1800s was a very lucrative occupation for someone who had nothing. So, I'm taking it out of realm of "OMG" and putting into a perspective of the hunters. They did make a lot of money in their time for these hides. And there was in our perspective a lot of waist. But it was a living. If it could have been avoided, there might have been something else that was equally as distasteful. That was the old west, and people have take that into consideration.

    Find something else to beat down or complain.00.

    A meditation on the near-extinction of bison

    I think that this movie achieves its aim in demonstrating to the audience the tragic wastefulness of nineteenth centuries bison hunting. It doesn't really touch on the racialized element in the destruction of bison, in that it was in part based on the belief that "one less buffalo meant one less Native American." But it does aptly portray the greed. It also portrays the monotony of hunting bison, which makes for a movie that is sometimes downright boring and repetitive. There is a lot of attention paid to accurate historical details and Nicholas Cage is excellent as the brooding, disturbed, obsessive Miller. Xander Berkeley also puts in a noteworthy performance. Overall, a powerful message wrapped in a somber and kinda dull film in the "we lost ourselves in the wilderness" genre. Worth the watch.

    Not great, not bad

    I wanted to give a higher rate but it's hard because the movie has many issues. That being said, it's not a bad movie, very watchable especially if you love westerns.

    The actors performances are good, the story and plot are decent. Probably lacks more action. You won't see many bullets.

    My biggest issue, and maybe this is a "me problem", is their clothing. I see this problem many times in modern low budget westerns. The people in charge of the outfits, wardrobes and characters design should put a bigger effort in making the audience feel the old western days, teleporting the audience back in time. Instead, I feel they are wearing Levi's jeans and gap shirts, all clean. The horses are also way too clean.

    Anyway, it's not that big of a deal, just wanted to share my point of view.

    Cheers.

    Nick Cage back in his element- solid story/acting

    This was a nice surprise of a great story with solid directing and a great cast. The dp work is amazing yet it's not a casual premise for the light hearted esp any Vegans.

    It is phenomenal to see Nick Cage back in great films especially after another gem like Pig and now this western script that merits his talent as he carries the film as its star with a superb supporting cast.

    The Montana landscape is epic in its splendid beauty and the true sadness and brutality of mankind's hunt for bison in 1800s is one of disgrace yet another tragic tale that has to be seen to fully comprehend the mania of some hunters.

    Kudos to the director and loved the music score also.

    Looking forward to more Cage films

    A solid 7 stars.

    Disgusting, it's the point

    It appears people are vote bombing because they don't like seeing guts, gore, and buffalo getting killed. Buffalo co-evolved with American Indians for thousands of years as a hunted animal. They were hunted sustainably and revered. Nobody is endorsing the killing of buffalo to this extent; that is the point of the movie to show the atrocities by Americans in the 1800s. If you are disgusted, the film has done its job.

    I thought the supporting cast was a little weak but the writing was on point. Beautifully shot, Nicolas Cage hits a home run for his character (perfectly casted by the way), and a wonderful conclusion. This one is worth a watch.

    • Trivia
      The film was shot in 19 days on location in northern Montana. According to written articles and testimony, the filmmakers worked with a herd of 600 buffalo managed by the Blackfeet Indian reservation and dealt with hostile weather and challenging shooting conditions.

      Upon seeing a rash on Will's leg, Fred tells him "You better let it have some air. That'll creep up to your balls, make 'em swell like grapefruits." Yet the film is set in the early 1870s, nearly twenty years before grapefruit would be cultivated in the United States, and nearly forty years before they would become popular. Even if Fred had seen a grapefruit, he couldn't have expected Will to know what they were, let alone to use it as a frame of reference.
