However, he was unable to sell it, and it languished until his first produced screenplay, The Starling (2021), renewed interest in it.

Featured review
Great to see Walter Hill still has the touch. A well acted and solid western. Many harsh reviews here. I don't know what movie they were watching or expected. Obviously, a low budget film, but so what. Not overly stylistic, more of an old school western and thoroughly enjoyable.
Waltz always solid and a nice performance by Defoe. Supporting cast and Bratt very entertaining.
Hopefully, Hill will get another chance, but in today's Hollywood probably not gonna happen. As an old fashioned western fan and admirer of Hill's career, I recommend this film. Don't be deterred by the overly critical reviews you see here.
