As westerns go, I felt this one really kept the feel of how original westerns felt. All acting came across really well, nothing was too overacted, and it's a sign that Ed Harris seems to have his finger on the trigger when it comes to his films.

However, this is a western and as westerns go, they always seem to follow a very similar pattern, sheriff or two plus bad guys with a hint of a woman. You also say that about a lot of films, but with this film is a was a little predictable, although with the female character (Zellweger) there certainly was a nice little twist that was unexpected.

If you like westerns then you could definitely do worse, this film is definitely watchable, and enjoyable for the most part. Guys do not fear, as your partners should be able to enjoy this film too. It's not all about gun fights and bullets, there is an underlying comical side and a very unusual love story involved, if you can call it that?

I thought this movie was great! I watched it out of pure curiosity, not expecting to be entertained or as hooked as I was. Josh Brolin was, in my opinion a great George W Bush, he seemed to capture the character really well, including the accent, and stupidity. The film is a little long but not once did I think "Jeez I wish this would hurry up and finish." I found it, as I said, interesting to see how Georges life was lived (through the directors eyes anyway). It did well to include his life from such an early "fraternal" time all the way up to his latest. I only gave it a 6.5 out of 10 due to the fact that while it was a good film, it's only a good film if your interested in it.
