Tim Blake Nelson plays an early 20th century farmer who takes in an injured man with a satchel full of cash, inviting trouble in this homage to classic Westerns.

This lean and tightly controlled production from writer-director Potsy Ponciroli plays out for much of its taut buildup and violent climax as a well-crafted exercise in old-fashioned but durable genre tropes.

But it evolves into a satisfying reflection on the more complicated, somber realities behind the icons of the Wild West, separated from the embroidery of legend. The film is slated for an Oct. 1 release from Shout! Studios after its out-of-competition premiere in Venice.
