*Plot analyzed*
Dead Man's Burden is a completely average Western film. Although it is commonplace, it is still nice to see Westerns being made. The New Mexico scenery is always stunning to behold, but the acting is quite average. No one stands out at all. Some of the scenes are just plain routine, since the cast can not elevate them beyond the limits of their paltry acting range. Some may like this style, as it reflects a homegrown flavor that is found in many of today's Westerns.
A brother returns to home to find most of his family dead, and his sister may be responsible. It is slow, at times a bit soporific. It's still worth a watch.
