Appaloosa movie
If you haven't seen it, do so. Combat mindset and Brotherhood out the ass. Best movie I've seen in a while.

Just watched it today. Not what I expected, but it was good. I thought the plot fell short in a couple spots, but Viggo pulls it together with violence and bloodshed. I recommend it, as well.

Combat mindset indeed!
I like how the deputy was hardly ever seen without that 8 gauge! I Guess he heard about bringing pistols to gunfights! lol
great movie and one of the best westerns I have ever seen (thanks to My dad and cable I have seen just about all of the movies and reruns of older series)

Virgil and Everett had a zero tolerance policy and I liked it.

Great cinematography, too.

I watched it last nite! Good movie, very unpretentious and solid! I love the "zero tolerance" policy of Virgil and Everett and the message they gave the town leaders in the beginning, "it's our way or the highway"! And when I saw "Allie" get on the street, I said "uh oh, here comes trouble". Women's intuition!

I thought it was a pretty good western which is something they don't seem to put out anymore...........

If anyone is interested there is a book out there by Robert Parker. A lot of the dialogue is word for word from movie to book. It also fleshes out the characters a bit more. An enjoyable and quick read.
I read the book first and really enjoyed the movie.
