The 2 leads are just fine as the usual laconic tough-as-nails gunfighters. The evilness of the bad guys is established at the first scene, so you know exactly where this is headed.

But it meanders a lot. The climactic gun battles are rather short and anti-climactic. A movie like this is such a known quantity for anyone who's grown up with the movies, there should be a visceral thrill when it all goes down. And there wasn't much of one. As far as well written dialog, it's not terrible, but a single episode of Deadwood beats it handily. The leads are good though. Worth seeing for them.
