Last night, the wife and I went to see APPALOOSA at the local Austin cinema.
I love a good western, and this one had a lot going for it.
Ed Harris, who co-stars, also directed the film and he did a very good job of re-creating New Mexico of 1882. The cinematography was impressive and the performances were all first-rate.
There were also some very memorable scenes.
The problem was with the script. It rambled on, very episodic, without a very strong spine. Indeed, the last 20 minutes felt very anti-climatic.
In fact, I'm still trying to answer the question: "What was the story about?"
On a scale of 1-10, I'd give APPALOOSA a 7.
But, who am I? Ebert & Roper?
