North of the Border

About This Movie

North of the Border is a curious blend of crime and western tropes, directed by B. Reeves Eason. You’ve got this rugged rancher, 'Utah' Neyes, who crosses into Canada only to stumble into a mess of murder and suspicion. The pacing is brisk, with 'Utah' swiftly teaming up with RCMP Jack Craig and fur-trapper Ivy Jenkins to clear his name. The film captures a specific post-war atmosphere, mixing tension with the expansive Canadian landscape. The performances are solid; they really bring the characters to life. And that gang led by 'Nails' Nelson? They add a layer of menace that keeps you on edge. It’s worth noting the practical effects here, they might not be flashy, but they suit the gritty tone well.

Directed by B. Reeves Eason · Features elements of classic westerns · Good balance between action and character development
