      When Standard Atlantic's Accountant calculates Delarue's commission for collecting 15 deeds; as being $3,148 plus 12%, equaling $3,524. Delarue makes the point "and 76 cents" when in actual fact his commission is short by $1.76.

    Old style western
    If you like traditional westerns you will enjoy this film.

    These days you don't get to see American westerns very often, so is nice to see that genre is not dead thanks to productions like this one from Denmark or others like The Dark Valley (Das finstere Tal).

    Mads Mikkelsen plays the main character with great professionalism, without excesses. Same thing with Eva Green, portraying a scarred mute woman that talks only with her eyes.

    You have the good guy, the VERY bad guy, the town full of cowards, the tormented girl, the backstabbing character. All the things you expect to find in a good old western. If you add to that the good performances, my only advice is, see this movie.
