Appaloosa (2008)



Two friends hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a rancher find their job complicated by the arrival of a young widow.

Nicely photographed and played elegiac revisionist Western celebrates old-fashioned men's bonding and honor which includes a good slice of misogyny as well.

Maltin**: "Fairly simple story...takes an awfully long time to spin out. Harris and Mortensen make a great team, and their friendship is the most interesting aspect of this long-winded film."
