Part of FACETS’ Must-Watch Indies series. Padraic McKinley’s directorial debut is a noir-stained action-adventure in the style of John Huston’s The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and William Friedkin’s Sorcerer. The film stars Ethan Hawke as Samuel Murphy, a World War I veteran and widower in a Depression-era convict labor camp. After a mishap with the police, he gets caught up in a scheme to transport gold bars across Oregon forests for the Warden (Russell Crowe) to win his freedom and reunite with his daughter Penny (Avy-Berry Worrall).
