Classic western, old school throwback

this isn't your modernized version of a western like 3:10 to Yuma, nor the pretentious kind like assasination of Jesse James nor is it a story that deals with unusual sensitive topics like Brokeback Mountain. No, this is your Grandfathers version of how the west really was back in the day, men were men, words were kept in a minimum, honor and loyalty are the values that were kept sacred whether good or bad. Harris has crafted a fine piece of celluloid, he kept the story simple and straightforward, the humour was kept in the right places, the cinematography outstanding and the acting esp by Viggo Mortensen was superb. |
