Appaloosa , 17 February 2009
  • Appaloosa
  • Appaloosa on DVD (2008)
    Starring: Viggo Mortensen,  Renee Zellweger,  Ed Harris
    Director: Ed Harris
    Certificate: Certificate: 15
    A brave but somewhat short of the mark attempt to carry on the current trend of depicting the 'True west”! Yes it’s beautifully shot and the atmosphere is authentic the acting underplayed the dialogue low key the story diverse and compelling.
    So what’s the problem? It’s over shadowed by greater and more recent efforts “Open Range”..”Assassination of Jesse James” etc and at its core falls down in the relationship between the 2 leads Harris and Mortenson. Harris aint no Duvall and Mortensen’s character a trifle too sychopanthtic for comfort. But it’s really Zellwegger who doesn’t quite fit and although the development of the ménage e tres has some interest it all seems quite mundane and lacking in any real intrigue.
    The standard of any true western are the gun battles and duels and we are better educated now to the realities of misfiring and inaccurate pistols but what happened to the sound effects! Very strange mooted effects and reminiscent of sounds made as a boy with my own toy pistol! Finally please stop casting Irons as a villain; surely there are better actors who can perform with edge and menace! Irons seems more akin to playing English Bob parts slightly fey and full of pretence.   4 out of 4 people found this review helpful
