THE WEIGHT
The film
Desperate to save what is left of his family, during the height of the Great Depression, a battle-scarred veteran is hired to help smuggle a fortune in gold across 100 miles of impenetrable wilderness.
Loved this. Take Sorcerer, get rid of the trucks, and set it in the Pacific Northwest. Feels like the type of adventure movies they don’t make anymore. Ethan Hawke is fantastic and this is legit harrowing at times. Should be streaming somewhere soon.
