So what if its a remake?

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2008)

Of course I can't say anything about the original, because I haven't seen it yet. But I saw this movie/gem and was mesmerized by it. Surely one of the best westerns (if not the best) in the last decade! A shame it didn't win an Oscar (2 nominations though).
From the leading men to the supporting cast, the performances are more than stellar. The story is told very raw and with an experienced director (Mangold) steering the wheel, everything moves along just in the right pace. Not too fast and not too slow. Although you can say it's more like the old school western, than a new style western (even the editing). If there's just a little love for western in you, than you have to watch this!
