Okay, here's what I liked about the movie. The western part. Ed Harris directed a really well crafted western, with a good amount of suspense. Him and Mortensen play well off each others as friendly and unfriendly partners in law enforcement. Jeremy Irons is his usual terrific self as the villain in this movie. The bad guy who causes Harris and Morternsen to come to town. That's the good part of the movie.Here's what I didn't like: Renee Zellweger. Not so much her as an actress (though I'm not the biggest fan in that aspect either), but rather her character and her character's storyline in this film. Useless. I understand what Harris was trying to do, but he didn't have to. This was good enough as it was, and then this storyline turned it into just a "good" movie.
There was not a whole lot of violence in this, and I'm fine with that. There doesn't need to be. But if you want to see a great modern western, go see the remake of 3:10 to Yuma.
