When Virgil Cole (Harris) and Everett Hitch (Mortensen) arrive in Appaloosa, they find a town suffering at the hands of villaionous rancher Randall Bragg (Irons).

Synopsis
When two gunmen, Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) and Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen), arrive in Appaloosa they find a small, dusty and lawless town suffering at the hands of renegade rancher Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons). Bragg has not only taken supplies, horses, and women for his own, but also has left the city marshal and the deputy for dead. In Bragg they find an unusually wily adversary who raises the stakes by playing with emotions. It is now up to Cole and Hitch to stand against the actions of the renegade rancher, which have already taken their toll on the town.

This movie is the most authentic looking western I have seen since Clint got down and gritty with the wonderful 'Unforgiven'. Yes the story has probably been done before but so has every story ever written ultimately, but not as well on every occasion as this has been done. Excellent performances all round by an all star cast. I would point out that the picture quality is so good that it isn't worth buying the blu-ray edition.

Having recently watched "3:10 from Yuma", I rented this film while being in the mood for good old fashioned entertainment.
The dialogue between the two main characters is great and worth watching alone. Ignore the one star review, this is a real treat for fans of westerns.

Saw this a week ago, and i was not expecting too much going in, but i was
very impressed by this western, it had a classic feel to it, which is great as some westerns are too action biased, and have little story or feel to them.
Very pleasantly surprised, if you like westerns, you have to see this.
(and i agree it really deserves more than a one star review)

a darn good western
Worth watching alone for the male bonding between the two lead actors. Strong performances combine with a taut script. Not quite a classic but a near contender.

Cool Cowboys in a credible portrait of the West.
"Appaloosa" verges on being a great film. I many respects, it is a traditional Western and not at all revisionist. Read more

"I'll be Your City Marshal, and I'll run your Town."
As a fan of classic westerns I always approach new Westerns with concern, because they usually are not very good. However I was almost completaly impressed with Appaloosa. Read more
