With such great actors, what can go wrong? This is a very poor western, not because the story has already been told, but because it is just very badly told. Too many clichés and too many botched up flashbacks. The directing is just very bad... a very forgettable movie, and music you'd like to forget as soon as you hear it. Makes you cringe. What a waste of good actors and beautiful scenery ! I saw O'Connor's "Warrior" a while ago, but I remember I enjoyed it... what happened here ? I believe westerns are quite a challenge for a director, it's like cooking a very simple and well-known recipe... If you don't have enough character to bring in your own touch, it's gonna taste like all the others... This one is worse than the others, though... Shallow and uncreative.
Portman produced this... she should know better !
