Strange and Rich is an intriguing blend of crime drama set against the stark backdrop of an Alberta prairie town. The narrative kicks off with the haunting death of a student, which acts as a catalyst for the arrival of a killer. The performances by Shaun Johnston as the weary sergeant and Ron White as the new police chief are compelling, capturing the tension and isolation of small-town life. The pacing has this unsettling rhythm, pulling you deeper into the mystery with each scene. It effectively conveys themes of justice and desperation, while the practical effects serve the gritty atmosphere well. It’s one of those films that lingers on the mind long after watching, thanks to its raw portrayal of human frailty.
Strange and Rich has had limited circulation, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. It’s primarily available on a few obscure formats which adds to its rarity. Interest in this film seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate regional cinema and crime narratives. Finding a copy in good condition can be a challenge, as it hasn't seen a major re-release.
