Clint shows true colors

Rating: 2/10 (3 November 2008)

This movie was disappointing. I felt it has potential to be edited to be a better movie. There were a few scenes that needed to be left on the cutting room floor, including those with anachronisms in dialogue that cheapen the worthwhile story, egregious and unnecessary capital punishment scene and poorly acted scenes involving the crazy murdering villain. By the time the capital punishment scene came up I was already fed up with this melodramatic saga. But the hanging was egregious and unnecessary and poorly acted to boot. I'm actually shocked that there are a number of reviews raving about this as being a great film. It's not and not in the same league as "Million Dollar Baby." Sorry, but Clint you didn't take enough time on this one or maybe you took too much time.
