I once read a metaphysical story : 'Not To Narrow , Not To Deep ' by Richard Sale, It was made into a film called 'Strange Cargo'( a stranger title). As the episode unfolded, I pondered that the writer had also read that book; an otherworldly figure( in this case Duryea) , who seems to know the characters innermost secrets , causing much introspection , fear & some repentance in the group. All very engrossing & un-Western like episode - I had surprisingly heard that Rawhide contained such themes - which I why I started watching the series.

The similarities to the aforementioned book end when Durea himself is forced into confronting his own past by Gill at the end.

It's a bit rough around the edges in places , but all things considered Well worth a watch

You can tell a lot about how much thought went into the movie by its ending,

The film is far too long , although the cinematography /colours are very appealing.

There are some scenes which are a bit gratuitous like in Bone Tomahawk

As the film unravels it becomes apparent what the storyline is , although you are hoping for a twist which never arrives. Strangely engrossing most of the time - probably hoping for a surprise.

I would not recommend anyone to spend their time watching this film. I would not recommend it to anyone of a mental disposition, or anyone planning to visit Sweden.
