Not a perfect movie but a very good movie. It's a bit long - it wouldn't have spoiled any aspect of the film to trim a bit here and there and get the movie in at a more manageable 2 hours. But that's such a minor complaint. The casting is pitch perfect and it's just a master class for everyone watching. The film strikes an excellent balance of traditional western with some modern sensibility thrown in, including terrific music.
I just loved the twist at the end and it allowed Idris a spectacular scene. The women kick ass, which is important for me (as much as I enjoy the male actors). And the kisses - so hot!
There are so many untold or forgotten stories of westward expansion from the perspective of the other people who were there and impacted by it, I hope this is the beginning of a lot more westerns.
