What critics compared Track of the Cat to
The desolate landscape is spectacularly captured by cinematographer Ben Richardson - reminiscent of the Robert Mitchum classic "Track of the Cat" and even the more recent "The Revenant".
What follows is a string of events that’s often outrageous, sometimes hilarious, but rather than cool or stylish, the film is bleak and severe in the classic tradition of snowbound westerns such as William Wellman’s Track of the Cat and André de Toth’s Day of the Outlaw .
