Thomas Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge" gets a frontier makeover with this acclaimed Western about a wealthy Irish immigrant named Dillon (Peter Mullan) whose good fortune in the bucolic California town of Kingdom Come stems from a Faustian bargain he made years ago, a deal that returns to haunt him with the arrival of a railroad surveyor (Wes Bentley) and two mysterious women (Nastassja Kinski and Sarah Polley).
