Quotes
Michael Karns: But Jacob, the grave isn't deep enough!
Ben Johnson: It's isn't just a rule of the church...it's the law of the open trails. Graves must be six feet deep and heaped with stones to protect it from wild animals. There must be a cross. I can't leave my son like this, Jacob!
Pete Black: All right, then stay here and bury him yourself!

A quest with no goal

This movie just sort of grinds along with no real highs or lows. You can tell from the synopsis that it is a fairly unpleasant premise, and you might hope that the pace or tone would change as the drama develops. I found that the difficulties the characters encountered along the way we're pretty much cliched, giving the secondary actors little to work with.

I had almost stopped watching the movie when it seemed to pick up just a bit and I had some hope for a resolution that would justify my time with the movie.

But no such luck.

Overall, I would say that you should not waste your time with this movie. There's just no there there.
