Jul 11, 2016Monolith rated this title 3.5 out of 5 stars
An extremely atmospheric Western, to say the least. Innovative for its departure from the standard run-of-the-mill cowboy yarns prior. There is no John Wayne/Gary Cooper style hero here on his white horse saving Nell from Snidely Whiplash who tied her to the railroad tracks. Robert Altman introduces us to bare @$$ed prostitutes, an opium den, and an antihero who is a drunk and a coward. It's rumored that the log buildings of the town were crafted by a crew who went to Vancouver to dodge the Vietnam draft.
