Review of Appaloosa (2008) by Nickj. — 10 Oct 2008
While I did enjoy Mr. Mortensen's character and the slowly unfolding pace of Appaloosa, it is a Frankenstein of a western, built mostly of cliches. You get it all: the well read / no good varmint running roughshod over the frightened citizens of a lawless town, the strong and silent lawmen who aint no heroes, saloon whores, horse raiding Injuns, Chinese waiters speaking broken English.
.. For God's sakes it ends with a literal ride into the sunset! It'd be riot if it wasn't so darned earnest.
