Love that European pacing. Stands in admirable contrast to your favored American freneticism and camera antics and FX.Plus life in the Old West must have been even slower-paced. Which was part of the point surely.
If you don't like Duvall you don't like acting.
I'd go ever farther. If you don't like Duvall's role, you don't like smart, wise and weathered older men who behave conservatively.

You didn't address any of my points, except Duvall's acting, which is on a par with an old coot w/mutton chops whose name I can't recall at the moment but has become an embarrassment of over-sincerity.
Boring AIN'T European, btw.
My title line is a direct quote of a so-called "point". Besides, what use is there adresssing remarks such as "zero drama", "monotonous" and "forgettable" (which I guess it isn't, as you're still on about it).clark
is a key component. Hiding around town and making shy moonful glances at a 50 yr. old woman is not too dramatic. Where, clark, is the antagonist? The sense of impending doom?
A western must have an epic climax. This one? Not even a wet dream. The big shootout as filmed here is indistinguishable from network tv.
But if your idea of a great movie is Costner talking for an hour and a half...buy a copy when it comes out. At least you'll sleep well.
