Quote to Note: What name were you given at birth stupid white man?

Review: A man from Cleveland is on a train. He is headed for the end of the line. They shoot buffalo from this train, a million per year. He arrives in the town of Machine which is coincidentally the end of the line. His name is William Blake. Blake is not Black. There is no job for him in Machine. He is a man no longer, now a fugitive. He doesn't smoke. William Blake is travelling with Nobody. Nobody talks loud, says nothing. Big George gets the shits. The fugitive, now a killer. Nobody leaves. They need a canoe. He acquires more of White Man's Metal. Nobody seeks out the great builder of sea canoes. William Blake sails across the mirror of water. He still does not smoke.

Watch the film. You'll understand. Maybe. Holy shit there are a lot of boats, including one on the cover.

Score:
(8 Nolte Heads out of 10)
