Review - Appaloosa on Max

Friday, February 16, 2024 17:30

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

If you like traditional westerns, or at least western movies with a traditional feel to them, then you need to watch Appaloosa, a 2008 film based on the novel of the same name by Robert B. Parker.

Starring Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen, the screenplay was co-written by Harris and Robert Knott and won 4 awards including the Western Heritage Award in 2009.

Also starring Renee Zellweger as the woman who comes between them and Jeremy Irons as the villain, the story is set in the 1880s in the mining town of Appaloosa.

Virgil Cole (Harris) and his partner and friend Everett Hitch (Mortensen) are in the business of bring justice to the lawless towns of the Southwest—for a price.

The town’s citizens are tired of rancher Randall Bragg (Irons) and his men bringing chaos and terror when they come to town. When a young and pretty widow (Zellweger) arrives by stage, she creates a complication for the two friends.

Yes, the story has been told before, but the acting, the atmosphere, and the cinematography elevate the common story. Harris and Mortensen are perfect in the role. Even though you think you know what the outcome will be, you may be surprised.

This movie is showing on Mas and also Prime Video. It’s even available on Amazon in BluRay at a low price.

We really enjoyed the movie. It was compelling with such honest and believable portrayals of the characters. If you like westerns of any type, you’ll probably like it too.
