Trailer

Looks good. Maybe the West is back, no?

It looks interesting at the very least but the trailer also gives me a distinct whiff of it possibly being Proposition-lite.

Well, it's out on dvd. Can anybody comment on it? I hear its similar to Josey Wales, and I'm definitely ok with that. In any case, I'm watching it in a couple hours so I'll post a mini review later.

I'm not really good at expressing my thoughts, but can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this. Gorgeously shot, well-acted (and a wonderful supporting job by Michael Wincott) and despite a protracted third act, it never overstays its welcome. The end heads in a interesting direction, which critics seemed oddly baffled over.

My only minor complaints: There are a few fairly generic flashback sequences, and it's initially amusing to hear how Neeson and Brosnan (mostly) cover their accents by continually speaking while either out of breath or in a gravelly baritone.
