Meek's Cutoff (2010)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

1850s covered wagon travelers looking for an Oregon trail shortcut encounter hijinx.

Saw it last night. Liked it.

Slow but in a poetic kind of way.

Surprise ending which I like better in retrospect.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I admired the unique perspective they brought to it but I was a little bored by the whole thing.

[Frayed Knot]

I think the 'cutoff' in the title was for how abruptly the movie ended.

the story is like THE DONNER PARTY but without the cannibalism, right?
