pursue be a very decent picture and very nicely shot and darkly imaginative and and drip with noir style and but if it actually a noir film then that really be up for debate and a be and if this film really be a western . it wasn not quite what i be hop for and and in truth it be a little too offbeat for the frame of mind i be in and but it definitely one i will go back to at some point to re evaluate prepare with the awareness of what type of film it actually be . robert mitchum { excellent } be jeb rand and who be constantly pursue by assailant all his life . the film be tell in flashback from his childhood tragedy when his family be all murder and with him be the only survivor . upon learn that there be indeed a survivor and the killer set about erase jeb from the planet and thus jeb spends all his life try to find out what the hell be go on and and just why do his adoptive mother raise him in the first place . an oddity of sort because pursue be thinly embrace a number of genre and stretch the element of each strand to create a film that once view and leave one very intrigued a to it purpose . positive .
