The story is frequently unconvincing, especially the absurd roles played by both lead bounty hunters. It document some of the terrible treatment and extreme prejudices the Indians faced during the time, but many of the characters seem to suffer from some kind of identity crisis. The white bounty hunter in particular seemed almost psychotic. Some of the music was annoying. The story was sometimes confusing but also somewhat satisfying.
