Review of Appaloosa (2008) by Zack S — 16 Jan 2010
It?s all about action, gun fights and even Ed Harris getting metaphorically crapped on by a woman. This film is a great effort for Ed Harris?s second attempt at directing and it makes it seems like he has been doing it his whole career.
Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen?s acting in the film are great but for me the best performance of the film comes from Jeremy Irons who really does make his character his own. You can never quite know what is going through his mind and why he acts the way he does, you almost what to believe him when he says he?s a reformed man.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the appearance of actor Lance Henriksen who played a convincing part. This is very worthwhile watching and is a great effort for a modern western, in fact I even believe this is better than 3:10 to Yuma.
