Big disappointment for me. I like dramatic westerns and generally like Ed Harris and was looking forward to it. But it was the poorest attempt at a western I've seen in years. Harris' writing, his acting and especially his directing doomed it. Westerns take a certain touch; Harris doesn't have it. Casting Zellwigger as the female lead was the coup d'grace. It had a chance until she showed up.
Mortensen and Irons did as best they could with a DOA script; the supporting cast were excellent. It's a shame for them it turned out so poorly. It lurched between major scenes without development; like they shot a six hour movie and had to cut it to two. The brief courtroom scene; in which Harris had no lines, and RZ wasn't in at all, was the highlight of the movie. Sterile. Full of loose ends, technically bad with an dull, artificial look. Watery soup with a few chunks of meat, that sums it up.We're chasing terrorists in the wrong place...they're on Wall St.
