Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A loner and cook (John Magaro) has traveled west and joined a group of fur trappers in Oregon Territory, though he only finds connection with a Chinese immigrant (Orion Lee). The men collaborate on a business, although its longevity is reliant upon the participation of a wealthy landowner’s prized milking cow.”

Review: Big letters over a shot from the film. It fits the title, but doesn’t explain anything or even suggest to the audience that they will want to watch it.

Trailer Rating: C-

Review: If they didn’t present the name Kelly Reichardt, this trailer would convince no one that it was a film directed by a well known and well respected indie voice. This cheesy looking film won’t be able to conjure much enthusiasm.
