Like its central characters, at least Cave and Hillcoat are straightforward about their intentions (apart from the
awkward placement of its female characters, who are mostly forgotten whenever they aren't necessary to the plot), and the story unfolds in a flurry of pummelings, shootings, and stabbings that punctuate the battle of wills between men with few moral qualms (One particularly gruesome episode
really puts a character's legend to the test).
