A silent film thriller that looks vastly intriguing: snow! carnage! stolen treasure! moral dilemma! love affair! Not to mention that I learned of it by stumbling across a long line of people with advance tickets waiting to see it on the big screen. Hundreds of San Franciscans can't be wrong, right? I didn't think so.
