was rather peculiar and unsatisfying.

Still, that doesn't take away from the "ride" this movie took me on. This is certainly the best Western in quite some time, which isn't saying much, since Westerns as a genre have fallen into disuse/disfavor. But it was much better, IMO, than Costner's Open Range.

The desert southwest was beautifully filmed . . . my wife watched the final credits in detail and said it was shot in New Mexico?

Now hoping that we get a second credible Western in "The Assassination of Jessie James by the coward. . .", can we say unwieldly lonnnnng title?

  I understand your point. As an "Australian" western, it had a different "gallop" (pacing?) to it. It was a movie I admired more than enjoyed. Fairly brutal toward the end.
  
  The other movie one should consider in this discussion is "The Missing," the Ron Howard directed movie starring Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett. This movie showed some early promise, but its descent into "supernatural mojo crap" (hereafter SMC!) by the Indian medicineman/sorcerer pretty much ruined it for me.

    a solid A. And that's because it has the best actor working in movies today. No, not Ms. Spears.
