That Jesse James thing with Pitt and Ben Affleck's mumbling, talentless brother was indeed much much worse. Like a trauma victim, I've isolated that painful experience from my memory. "Appaloosa" moves up one notch.
Its surprising that I agree with almost all of your comments except the "visually beautiful". As a director, I don't think Harris knows one end of a camera from the other...the cinematography was just barely above TV level. If Harris wanted it to look sterile, he succeeded. The lighting was the only visual I thought was good. In the end, I felt could have better used those 2 hours.
I particularly agree on Zellwigger; for me she's cinematic lemon-sucking. When she on the screen, everything is overwhelmed by her squinty, pinched mug. Can't act either. AFAIK, she isn't related to anyone big, so her Daddy must have a tape of some studio exec with a goat.
I think that the last good western was "Open Range". Kostner's acting is mediocre, but he makes a good western.We're chasing terrorists in the wrong place...they're on Wall St.
