Bastard's Crossing (2021)

 

A western for the pandemic. A guy never leaves his primitive store. A freight company brings his supplies. He only sees people briefly. His first act violence seemed somewhat justified. His customer was becoming belligerent and he was on his own in the middle of nowhere. Then he has the dead guy's wife to contend with. It came across as a historical drama since it wasn't really an action film.

A low budget western. According to the opening credits, they made or set out to make 12 westerns in 12 months, and, I didn't count them, but looking at the director and producer credits on IMDb, they seemed to have done that.

The movie was almost entirely one location. They had horses, wagons and a stage coach pass by. It all looked pretty good. The actors were older guys. There was an accidental death early on and a couple of homicides later.

96 minutes. I hit pause part way through and was surprised I was already halfway through it.

Filmed in Mississippi. Available on Amazon Prime.
