They initially contracted with the Mexican government to hunt down and kill indigenous people and bring back their scalps for money, but the gang became more savage and started killing everyone, even those they were supposed to protect. McCarthy in his book presents scenes of destroyed villages and corpses everywhere, scenes that make you wonder and ask how they could be transferred to the screen. It is no surprise that the adaptation of this novel to cinema has been delayed, and it seems that the project will be completed next year. One of the most prominent features of the novel is the terrifying character of the judge, a harsh and mysterious man who turns the boy into a prey, and does not hesitate to do anything. He excels in dialogues that amaze the gang members with his vast knowledge. This character can be classified as one of the most evil characters in literary history.
