Ed Harris wrote the screenplay and directed this superb western in the trend of Lonesome Dove, with Old West justice. Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris team up as honest gunfighters who become hired guns for a town of businessmen against a dishonest gunfighter with a band of killers. The film has profound lines that a real man would understand and love. Renee Zellweger plays a great sophisticated loose woman of the era, as equally magnificent as her rough, tough lady in Cold Mountain. Jeremy Irons plays the bad guy so well that he can fool you that it’s really him. Viggo Mortensen--always captivating on film--plays a true friend of honor and loyalty. Gee, I wish I had a part in that movie as the third gunfighter alongside Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. Good for ya, Ed Harris! Keep 'em coming!
