no.125 Appaloosa

For the most part, I really dig the modern approach to the Western and I make it a point to see every new release of the genre. I was really hopeful for this film, being Ed Harris' directorial debut, being a big Viggo fan... Unfortunately, this totally fell short. Right off the bat, you knew Renee Zellwegger was going to be the root of all evil, very transparent. I thought the casting of Jeremy Irons was interesting, we've seen him as the villain so many times, but not in this setting. Too bad we didn't get to see more of his charming evil silky tongue.
