Appaloosa
This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.
It's the "Quigley Down Under" meets "The Magnificent Seven" meets "3:10 to Yuma" with Butch and Sundance on the right side of the badge. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen sign on as City Marshall and Deputy to protect the small New Mexico town of Appaloosa from bad guy Jeremy Irons and his hired hands. Oh, and toss in Renée Zellweger as the love interest. This is not your glamorous shoot 'em up, high falutin' western tale, but more of a slow pokin' buddy film where the heroes do more jawin’ than shootin’ in small dusty town just ready to blow away. Alien enjoyed the authentic feel of the sets and the costumes right down to the hat tan marks. Harris takes on a huge role as star, director, writer, and producer. It's a good, quiet, little thinking man’s western, but seems to lack the soul of a true western from yesteryear.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "8 gauge shotgun" stars out of 4.
