Highly Entertaining, 3 November 2008
9/10
Author: los87 from United States

I screened this film during the Austin Film Festival. I hadn't watched a western film in quite sometime, so when I came across this flick I thought I should give it a chance after reading some positive reviews. I was more than pleasantly surprised. There was a great balance of humor and serious subject matter pulled straight from recent headlines. I found myself contemplating the subject matter after I left the theater, which spurred discussion between me and some friends. I feel if a director can pull off entertaining the audience while encouraging self-introspection that they have indeed created a film worth watching. I definitely recommend this film to anyone.
