A dry arid film, like being licked by a cat

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2008)

It shows the transition from the honour of the cowboy movies, where the Sheriffs did not have to carry a gun, to more violent self indulgent recent times, where some have progressed on from the gun.
It has a wonderful vista to it with the landscapes and the interior set decoration adding to the depth. It uses 35mm well.
The 'Anton' character really has the feel of the original 'Assault on Precinct 13', the John Carpenter 1976 one, relentless, deadly and morally unexplained.
The other characters tend to be optimistic Americans, but I did enjoy Woody Harrelson's, Carson Wells.
The film ends rather suddenly.
