..one thing I've decided is that Mortensen is the most exciting, most charismatic actor working today. His posture in the final shootout with Jeremy Irons is brilliant and in itself worth the entire cost of admission.

I like Harris' acting work very much too, over the years, but his direction of this film is uneven. Most of the supporting actors including Irons have no great demands made of them. Neither do they rise of their own accord.

Beautiful scenery, occasionally inventive photography and editing. I liked the full screen facial shots. The overall look is too clean-cut for the time and the sweaty, dusty New Mexico background.

Mortensen is the best thing in it. As I said, he alone raises the film to see-it-again status. And I'm sure in so doing, I'll see more in the whole film to like.

I love a western.
