In Oregon in 1933, Samuel Murphy (Ethan Hawke) is torn from his daughter and sent to a brutal work camp. Warden Clancy (Russell Crowe) tempts him with early release if he smuggles gold through deadly wilderness, but betrayal festers within the crew, and Murphy questions how far he’ll go to see his child again.

Starring:  Ethan Hawke; Russell Crowe; Julia Jones; Austin Amelio; Avi Nash; Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen; Sam Hazeldine; George Burgess; Avy Berry; Alec Newman; Cameron Brady; Charlie Kessler; Jeffrey Lee Hallman; Dylan Page; Peter Lewys Preston; Caspar Steinbeck

“First it’s a prison movie about a loner who becomes a leader.  Then it’s a wilderness adventure filled with relentless action sequences, and a psychological thriller about men trying to manipulate other men to gain money or freedom.  And from start to finish, it’s a political fable about capital and labor.  It’s successful in every department.”  (Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com)

“McKinley [director] establishes just the right amount of physical and emotional stakes, and a cast led by Ethan Hawke infuses the drama with believable camaraderie, conflict, and tension.  It’s the kind of atmospheric, exciting period drama we don’t really get much anymore.”  (Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine (Vulture)

“It is very much a “dad movie,” which isn’t, in this case, a bad or even limiting thing.  More than a few people have compared it to something Clint Eastwood might have done at some point — just a solid, hearty, meat-and-potatoes kind of movie.”  (Lindsey Bahr, The Associated Press)
