"He's killed more People than the drought."

Rating: 7/10 (28 April 2013)

This will never be regarded as a Classic or even a remade improvement over the Original. It is just a pretty good modern Western and two fine leading Actors punctuating the proceedings with words as much as violence.
The Bad Guy has killed and killed and is the kind of cold-blooded Killer needed to lead a gang filled with cold-blooded Killers. The Good Guy is a "Job" kind of Character that has asked God for help and He isn't listening. So he takes things on with an unwavering belief that he is redeeming himself while "doing the right thing" for his Family and is totally incorruptible.
There is much that is unbelievable going on here and it is all played for Movieness rather than some sort of authenticity. The body count is extremely high and is purposely softened by the Philosophical exchanges, but in the end this is nothing more than a Pulp Western. It is not particularly deep, just knee-deep in corpses. An above average Film that tries hard to be Great but after all, it's just nothing more than Entertaining.
