This was a very good movie. I read the book a couple years ago and couldn't believe they made it into a movie. Was a little skeptical goin into it. Was very impressed with the acting. Not a lot of shootemup moments but the tension of violence carries throughout the whole movie. This is Ed Harris' movie in every way. (actor, director, writer) He does a great job and his chemistry with Viggo Mortensen(sp?) portrays very well. Renee Zellweger is the love interest and she does well, also. Jeremy Irons plays the bad guy and I pretty much love every thing he does.
I recommend this to everyone. Whether you like westerns or not, you'll leave the theater saying to yourself, "that was a damn good movie." Also, it has a very good soundtrack. (I'd sit through the ending credits because there is a song written and sung by harris himself that is great and I giggled from the lyrics)
I guess I would rate it 8/10.
