I loved it but somehow i suspect I'll be the only one here to think that highly of it. |
Okay. I now want to see this. Asda here i come.
Can i recommend
Day of the Outlaw if you like snowy westerns. For a Hollywood film it's grueling stuff.
Oh and
McCabe and Mrs. Miller too. That's a Tarantino western in all but name.
