a dam good western! you have everything in this movie that makes a great western, a genre which is benefiting from a true revival with movies such as "Blackthorn" and "Gold" : a beautiful landscape, a manichean trio (a reference to Ennio Morricone...), plenty of blood and revenge. The far west remains mythical and ed Harris is just outstanding as the lunatic and troublemaking Sherrif Jackson. too bad the end of the movie doesn't match the quality of all that precedes it as we are disappointed to miss an ok corral type of ultimate confrontation.
