  One to watch
  
  A slow, in places, but solid western based on real life events. Good performances from Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church, well worth watching.

  Solid western
  
  A good solid western in two parts. Good and watchable from start to finish. A cattle drive with a difference.

  A yearning for the old west by Robert Duvall
  
  A beautifully constructed film in two parts, sensibly paced with constant surprises thrown along the trail. A good western as only the US know how. All the cast... read more »

  Even though there isn't that much of a story, and it could easily have been fitted into an hour and a half, this is a very watchable film. However the scale... read more »
