Awful. Slow, obvious sets. No chemistry between the actors. I was bored during the first 5 minutes. Gyped. Stick with the old westerns.

The script didn't flow well. Harris is a great actor, but mediocre director. Too much macho posturing and not enough insight into the main characters. The ending was flawed. Not even on the same level as The Unforgiven...The Searchers....or other classic westerns.

This movie is made for those who grew up watching Westerns and taking their simple, powerful moral messages to heart. If you're not one of us, you might be better served to look elsewhere for your entertainment. That's a nice way of saying, "Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out". For my money, this is a great rendition of a classic Western tale, fleshed out nicely amid the tension brought about by continuing conflict between murderous villains and paid lawmen/killers who believe in civilized conduct above almost all else.

If you've ever been a fan of Western movies or Western novels, don't miss this one. Much to admire and enjoy. Production values very high, best I've ever seen in a Western. Story evolves very nicely, expanding into areas of character development seldom seen in older Westerns. Ed Harris deserves multiple awards for his work. Others too.

The film is just okay. That's not saying much considering the stellar casting. When top of the line actors can't bring the script to life you know something is missing. I could not help but compare it by the stellar remake of 3:10 to Yuma which was so much better it made this film pale in comparison.

Very disappointing. It had great potential with it's cast, but left me in shock at the end of how terrible the movie was. Very slow and long with an unfullfilling ending.

Really looking forward to viewing this movie....but oh my, B O R I N G! I kept thinking - it will speed up, just never got off the ground. My honest opinion, this is about a 30 minute story, and it drug out for over 2 hours. OUCH! -

Good actors, but too slow and nothing excting even in the story. But I watched about 35 newly made movies and now I ask to myself: What Happened to Great movie makers of Hollywood? Every single new movie with new name actors gave me a feeling like eating something in a nice restaurant but find no taste at all. Be carefukl for another trick: Some big name actors, now getting kind of older, selling their names to these so called movies for a cameo rol and this is a very sad disappointment. I go to Block Buster and watch older movies. They are really better!
