I didn't know anything about this movie, just went 'cause it was a western. Spent most of my time eyein' the 8 gauge, because I think it was an 1882 Remington, of which I have two, a 12 and a 10 gauge. I want to restore the 10, so I was looking at it closely for finishes, etc. Anyone notice the but plate was missing in one scene, then it was back later?
As far as the conversation (banter) between the two main characters, I thought the writer was trying to do a poor imitation of Woodrow and Gus. Some of it was good though. I sort of liked the plot point of the woman being unfaithful, or just trying to always stay with whoever was top dog. I've known a few like that in real life.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie and I think most western fans would like it.
One thing bothers me and that is Ed Harris and Vigo Mortinson are both super leftist anti-gun liberals, but don't mind taking a paycheck by shooting a bunch of people.
