Dead Man's Burden
Dead Man's Burden is a 2012 western. This is a traditionally-styled western, with landscape serving as a character all its own. You'll feel like you know these people before you're done, and you'll wish there was a way besides tragedy before them. You can watch it online at TubiTV here or embedded below:

ReplyDeleteNot for everybody, it seems
DeleteI can't decide if this is a film of deception, betrayal, or a wanna-be western. I swear, the way the film starts and ends with a bullet made me wonder. Not bad acting, just a little melodramatic at times.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of it as a western... but so many of those include deception and betrayal lol
DeleteSounds good. I haven't always been thrilled with the modern Western. I can't put my finger on why. Like something is missing.
ReplyDeleteSome are better than others. I think some try to hard to be like the old ones, while some try to hard to be different.
DeleteDon't think I've seen this one and you know how I love a good western ...lol 😉. Happy Friday and Weekend! Take care! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe Western just keeps on giving, doesn't it lol
