I saw it. It was OK. But not on the par with Lonseome Dove or even Open Range.

Still, Duvall makes it. Without him the movie would have been bad. He gave it life and an authentic feel.

Seems to me the "horse thief" angle for the bad guys was not fleshed out properly and the Indian segment seemed pointless. Worse, the ending was a tad too pat.

- I think Duvall's performance in Lonesome Dove was the best thing he's ever done and I saw him interviewed once where he said that he felt it was his best work. I also liked Open Range but I think that he seemed to model his character and acting mannerism's in that movie on his previous success in Lonesome Dove. Without a doubt, both he and Gene Hackman are the best "character actors" in Hollywood today.
