This stone-faced, tough-minded Western stars Ed Harris, who also directed; he and Viggo Mortensen play a pair of lawmen hired to help clean up a remote cattle town, after a new rancher and his gun thugs come to town. Things are complicated by a pretty widow, played by Renee Zellweger. Though it's a 21st century movie, expect little revisionism in this traditional, well-executed Western.

Expert Review:
Ed Harris and Viggo Mortenson wear the holsters as longtime pards, with Renée Zellweger as the well-dressed widow who comes to town—and between them. This western homage has sweat-stained horses and cowboy hats, pitched gun battles, and windy streets. It also shows the aftermath of violence, nuanced female characters, and two friends who love each other. There’s time between gunshots for the men’s friendship to deepen, and the showdown says more about their feelings than resolving a good-vs.-evil conflict. By Bucko of Cowboylands
