    Terrible it starts well then just becomes more and more disappointing with some terrible acting and an ending that felt like a child wrote it.

    Not a bad film if you never intend to read the book. it is fairly close to the book's tale, but the drama and scale of the adventure is lost. However if the story had stayed closer to the book it could have been a true epic. I imagine budget did not allow for more spectacular scenes? But perhaps with some brilliant CGI something closer to the original story would have been possible? I was disappointed.

    I had little to no expectations going into this movie, and with that, I was pleasantly surprised. Still not a great movie nor a masterpiece, however it was good and really intense. I recommend it!

    It's got some great acting and a solid premise, but it does lose itself a little with a disappointing ending and themes that aren't really supported as well as they could be.

    The unique subject matter of buffalo hunting has some light shown on it and manages to not entirely bore. Plot, dialogue, conflict, and consequences are all basic and minimal. Not a great deal of tension either. The acting carries it.

    The young people behind the film have done a great job and it can be seen in this film. I liked it very much.

    An interesting tale of compulsion and the end of the buffalo harvest. The history seemed accurate. I found it enjoyable.

    This movie is very good at showing the environmental ignorance of humans. Decimating herds of buffalo for monetary gain. It shows the cold hearts of how people used to exploit nature along with the associated risks. Not a bad western, but I found the slaughter of innocent animals offensive.
