Ed Harris co-wrote, produced, directed and stars in this solid Western that's probably closest to what the wild West actually was than the Hollywood and European interpretations of one of the most stylized genres. Harris manages to bring some fresh strokes to the usual formula that you would encounter in a Western such as scared, small towns, evil rancher and good and bad tough guys that roamed the West. The story two friends hired to bring back law and order in a small town from the powerful rancher. The guys do their job well when a sophisticated woman comes to town that stirs things around including the friendship between the two men. Harris, Viggo Mortensen, Jeremy Irons and Renée Zellweger are solid as usual along with the rest of cast and crew. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
