Harris, Mortensen and Zellweger display their terrific talent in a movie that combines some classic western themes with intriguing character studies. Highly recommend!

I am a sucker for westerns and the actors here are some of the best but the movie never really moves along. It feels as if the good acting was wasted by either poor writing or directing. I think Ed Harris is a great actor but he may want to leave the directing to someone else. Oh well, maybe they can remake this movie with the same actors but have Clint Eastwood direct.

This movie was good, but a little boring and not so so original. Great acting like always from these two. Western movies tend to have the same ending with girls, I just wish they'd be like thrillers. ...

This movie was good, but a little boring and not so so original. Great acting like always from these two. Western movies tend to have the same ending with girls, I just wish they'd be like thrillers. Your heart races before every action scene, that's what I love. If this movie had the same basic story, but more suspence, I pry would have rated it higher. I wouldn't tell my friends it's a "have to see" but it's okay.

I love Ed and Viggo - and it had a great flavor of the West......but.....Renee Z? What a waste of a good part - she was a big distraction and not in a good way for this film...

It has been a long time since a good western has been made. Plot was good, acting was good, dialog was good, props were good. Movie overall was just great.

The interplay between Mortensen & Harris is excellent. When all is said and done, its the story of the love of a worthy man for an unworthy woman, who doesn't know her own mind/heart half as well as his best friend. All the principles--Irons, Henriksen, Zellwegger--are great. Ed Harris makes a surprisingly good director and songwriter (the ballad at the end of the credits).

This movie was okay - not great, but not bad. Kinda had the flavor of an old western. Renee Zellwegger can be hard to look at. I would recommend it, though.

Not great, Not bad as westerns go. The scene where he keeps shooting his six shooters into the ground in order to go from the ground to the second floor of a building, reminded me of a cartoon. Come to think of it the Ed Harris character kind of reminds me of Yosemite Sam.
