Native-bred Marshal Blueberry runs into a sinister character from his past who is after Indian treasure. This encounter eventually leads to the climactic drug-fuelled CGI frenzy in the Sacred Mountain. To call this shamanic Western confusing is a massive understatement. However, bafflement would be fine if the story wasn't so utterly uninteresting and mindnumbingly dull. The cast is promising but half of them play characters who are either irrelevant or incomprehensible. Based on the comic strip by Moebius.
