The Last Manhunt corrects history, but needs more to make it compelling
That’s about all we learn about the lovers before a tussle over a gun leads to William’s accidental death by shooting. His wife, Maria, tells the lovers to run, but then the next day promptly insists that the sheriff go get them, since it happened on non-Indian land. It’s unclear what outcome she’s hoping for, but perhaps presumes that a mixed posse of white men and Indians on behalf of the law will prevent a more violent vigilante response.
On the posse side of things, there’s a fair bit of back and forth about Indian guides tricking the white men as regards finding water for the horses, and a subplot about a reporter tagging along and sensationalizing the story. This leads to one good newsroom scene in which we get a sense of how Wild West-era Fox News worked; “We are selling fear, Mr. Randolph, are we not?” says one editor. More of it would be fun, but that’s not this movie.
