An interesting adjoint...

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 1999)

Not so much a 'classic' western, as an interesting adjoint to the genre. It's not very hard to see where the story is moving to as the music takes us sweepingly to the close. Pitt does his sturdy best and Aidan Quinn is highly recommended as 'Alfred Ludlow'. However the film never takes time enough to explain its characters intentions. Beautiful scenery at times more than makes up for the haphazard storytelling, leaving the viewer at the very best, contented.
