Plot:
When infamous outlaw Henry Baker (Gil Bellows) is released from prison after twenty-five years, old friends and enemies are waiting for him. The son he left behind, entrusted to watch over his ill-gotten riches. A bearded vagrant with a pistol and a decades-old bullet scar in his stomach. An alcohol-soaked deputy with half an ear on one side. And a burnt-out street hustler with a sick mother and a festering vendetta. The combined misfits track Henry to a dilapidated hotel where he plans to reunite with his son and the secret bag of gold he left behind…
Review/reviews:
“The no-man-standing conclusion has the whiff of dramatic nihilism, and it’s nowhere as perversely operatic as you might hope it would be. Still, the film projects both a strong intelligence and lots of ambition, two attributes to be heartily applauded. Most of the cast acquit themselves nicely…” The Austin Chronicle
