Entertaining but strange

Warning: Spoilers
As one poster stated, lots of powder, but not much bang. All the cute tricks of off angles, dark grey coloring, moody lighting and extreme close ups. But where does a band of ragged rebels find the oil, the iron, the food, and more while trying to fight off the enemy? The story line goes all over the place, pitting family loss against family loss in feud form. Crude tools and grit against superior numbers and horses. Without the soundtrack to create the mood, there wouldn't be much sense to some of the "action". Actors in grubby clothing running through a field. One aspect it does catch well is the primitive life and offers some pretty good fighting moves. The acting is mostly grunts and threats and screams. No much nuance! But it is different and entertaining. Worth a relaxed watch.
