excellent and exciting

Rating: 9/10 (11 September 2007)

Nice to finally see a decent modern western bring its way to the screen. Much in the style of westerns of old, lots of action, but it doesn't move too quickly where all your seeing is shootouts and blood. The storyline is deep and powerful, all the characters are interesting and make sense, and just an overall enjoyable film.
James Mangold puts himself on the board with this film, hopefully he continues to pump out future classics such as 3:10 to Yuma.
Go out and watch this in theaters, and then buy it on DVD when it comes out. A movie well worth watching.
8.5 from me, which fortunately for 3:10 to Yuma, rounds up to a 9.
