BUCKSKIN

Cinemavixion Review

Brett Bentman's "Buckskin" plunges viewers into the rugged landscape of 1820, following fur trapper Wesley Porter on a perilous quest. Portrayed with gritty determination by Tom Zembrod, Porter ventures into the foreboding Buckskin woods to rescue a lost boy. This Western, which also features notable performances from Robert Keith and Blaze Freeman, delves into themes of confronting past demons as Porter navigates treacherous terrain and the traps set by native inhabitants. While the film has garnered some awards and nominations, its critical reception, as indicated by an IMDb rating of 3.1, suggests a mixed audience response. "Buckskin" offers a lean, atmospheric journey into a harsh frontier, challenging its protagonist and, at times, its audience.
