   Hey,   
      
   At first, it comes across as what some people would call a “neo-noir.”   
   That is a barren road full of beaten horses and the saving grace of this film   
   – even with the influence of Jim Thompson – is that it makes its own way   
   to a different ending.    
      
   The story is one of a drifter with dreams of an ostrich farm in Wyoming. He   
   gets into a bar fight and takes the car keys of the loser and ends up driving   
   a rather new sports car that he almost wrecks when he comes across an upturned   
   car that had hit a    
   cow. He saves the driver's life and it is here that the story settles in. The   
   man owns a motel and has a major interest in a Native American casino and is   
   surrounded by iffy people. Some of them get murdered and the drifter knows   
   it's time to go just as    
   soon as he can convince the pretty motel maid to come with him.   
      
   There's a lot more and what is satisfying is not the story – although that   
   works fine – but the ending that you should have seen coming all along and   
   somehow never did. It's on Youtube.    
      
   Directed by David S Marfield who also wrote the script based on the novel by   
   Matthew F Jones. Cinematography by Scott Kevan and music by Charlie Clouser.   
   Starring Lucas Black, Peter Coyote, Mia Maestro, and Lesley Ann Warren, among   
   others.
