Appaloosa

Hardly a fresh perspective on genre traditions, it’s still got the performances and glorious landscapes to win you over.

What makes the movie absorbing is the way it harmonizes all the character strands and traits and weaves them into something more engaging than a mere 1-2-3 plot.

It's generally well-acted and good-humored, and its premise oftraveling lawmen who establish order through their own possibly corrupt rulesisn't bad.

Every generation gets the Western it deserves, and 'Appaloosa' is a suitable slow burn punctuated by sudden acts of violence...

...ett snyggt lyft på cowboyhatten till klassiker som Rio Bravo och My Darling Clementine och till en tid då allt en man hade var hans ord, hans heder och hans pistol.
