this be say to be the first polish western and be write and direct by piotr uklanski . know in the u. s. a dead man bounty and this film use some strange visuals to tell a story that be short on dialog . val kilmer play a corpse and some scene be through his dead eye . some awkward visual situation be actually comical in a sick way . my favorite be a young man build a gallows chop off one of his own finger and actually hang himself test the strength of the rope . a cowboy know only a the stranger ( karel roden ) find a dead man ( kilmer ) that he think be a wanted man . he take him to the near town to collect the bounty . he end up lose the corpse and the potential bounty in a gambling game with the town drunken sheriff ( boguslaw linda ) and have the few townsman turn against him when he have a dalliance with the barmaid ( katarzyna figura ) . he manage to escape sure death and lead the small posse on a dangerous wild goose chase . one scene have the stranger tend to a scalp wound by cauterize with gunpowder and a match . the corpse rot chain to a hitch post a the sheriff find out that there be no bounty to be have . this movie also know a summer love have a haunting theme song sung by john davidson . nevertheless this western be like watch a train wreck . there be just something that tell you not to look . but you do .
