This was solid entertainment for a western (which I am not fond of). Ed Harris are Viggo Mortensen and two hired guns who do their thing on the right side of the law. They are hired by a nice town, Apaloosa, to restore peace which has been shattered by Jeremy Iron's gunslinging "cattlemen".
Interloping into the action is Rene Zellweiger as Mrs. French. She arrives nearly penniless and Harris takes an instant shine to her. Harris arranges a place to stay and a job for her and end's up being her man (of the moment).
This film has several interesting turns and twists and is overall a solid piece of work...but not a great work. Harris co-wrote the story and directed and did well as the often tongue-tied Marshall. Viggo was solid as the faithful deputy and friend with Irons and Zellweiger being excellent yoemen.
This is worth the admission and cowboy films really pull out the old folks like nothing else as witnessed by multiple walkers in the audience.
