One of the top 10 westerns of all time!!!

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2008)

Great acting, great action, great dialogue, great scenery, great plot, and finally a great movie that grabs you and never lets go. This is what a western is supposed to be. Gritty, tough, bloody, believable!! It easily compares with other great westerns like the Unforgiven, The Outlaw Josie Wales, Dances with Wolves, A man called Horse and other top ten westerns. The various memorable scenes in this movie become more than the sum of their parts, they very nearly reach perfection. I have watched this movie a dozen times and will continue to watch it over and over as the years go by. You can do that with a truly superb movie while others gather dust.
