   “It was going to be a long ride, and there was no reason to hurry.” Appaloosa is a respectable new-age western which is satisfied with just soaking in the atmosphere of the western world it creates. It’s not in a hurry to get anywhere or do anything particularly new, but it’s mostly successful at the modest goals it sets out to achieve. It’s essentially a traditional 40’s–50’s western (i.e. not revisionist) made in the modern day. The biggest highlight is the performances: Ed Harris (also directing, and quite capably) and Viggo Mortensen play a marshall-and-deputy duo that have been together forever, and their amiable rapport translates well to the screen (there’s this bit they do, where Harris can’t think of…

   Captures the straightforward elegance of Robert B. Parker’s western noir prose, but it is deathly dull and Zellwegger sucks.

   Solid and sturdy attempt by director Ed Harris, but I don’t think he had full control over the narrative or found what could’ve made the film more interesting as far as a western thematic experience. The pacing was slow and some of the action scenes weren’t executed well for me, but it is a classical and traditional attempt at a western and I admire it for that! Renée Zellweger what in the hell were you doing??????

   Modern Westerns seem to get little attention these days unless they’re directed by a certain Mr Quentin Tarantino. Django Unchained’s success was a shot in the arm for the genre that had still delivered some impressive productions but rarely set the box office alight. Ed Harris takes a starring role here and also makes a welcome return to the director’s chair he’d filled so well on Pollock. Alongside Viggo Mortensen who yet again gives an effortlessly nuanced performance, this is an traditionalist Western with a simple plot that brings the best out of Harris, Mortensen, and the still incredible Jeremy Irons as the evil rancher intent on doing whatever he sees fit. Good versus bad in a battle for control…

   Вестерн, который может восполнить недостаток порядочности в организме и порадовать парочкой съедобных перестрелок. Это не стандартный представитель жанра, ибо на межличностные перепетии уделено заметно больше времени, чем на суровые пострелушки. Темп фильма можно назвать не то что неспешным, но даже ленивым. Царит повседневное раздолье за редкими исключениями в виде сведения счетов с деловым Айронсом или плутоватым Хенриксеном. Налитая физиономия Зеллвегер весь фильм просила кулака, но так и не получила, к моему большому сожалению. Главный дуэт валит наповал двойной порцией сурового обаяния в морщинах Харисса или смазливых ямочках Вигго. Решительные и принципиальные. Эд Харрис в своей режиссёрской работе попытался связать узел из хитросплетений таких понятий, как дружба, любовь и преданность, но получился скорее беспорядочный клубок, с которым, тем не менее, можно поиграться.

   I fell in love with Robert B Parker’s Cole and Hitch western novels this past summer. Read all four of them in about as much time as it would usually take me to read a single book. Like his best detective fiction, they’re character-driven, philosophically-minded stories that read like pulpy page turners. Appaloosa, Ed Harris’s film based on the first book in that series, is a sturdy and faithful adaptation. A well made, well acted, perfectly cast take on the story. But, not to be all “the book is so much better”, I just can’t help but feel that it loses something in the translation. Parker’s prose is unpretentious to the point that it could be mistaken for perfunctory. So…

   It’s been 8 years since I last reviewed Ed Harris’ Appaloosa, an early noughties Western that benefited from a stellar cast, a fine script, and Harris donning various caps as co-screenwriter, director, and star, in a film that really should have been a much bigger financial success for New Line Cinema. With the price of making Westerns just one of the reasons why they are so scarce, even nowadays, the critical acclaim that HBO’s Deadwood had found between 2004-2006 had reinvigorated a stagnant genre and given filmmakers that much needed bit of confidence to take a chance. They threw $20 million dollars at this film, and in my humble opinion it was money well spent. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen…

    55 2008 was the year of The Dark Knight and Iron Man. It was also the year of Appaloosa. Listen up as we discuss this Ed Harris directed/co-written/star vehicle, with supporting turns by Viggo Mortensen and Renée Zellweger. 🐎 🤠 👢

    Starts with promise, but as it went on it became weird, dull, and disjointed. As if the pieces were just thrown together without care.

    A fairly unimaginative Western by my count, but there are some really fun moments and story beats between Hitch (Mortensen) and Cole (Harris). Zellweger didn’t do much for me in this.

    I came for the realistic gunfights, but there a quirkiness that Ed Harris’ examination of the West that builds this dark fable into something more. That’s a fantastic cast of non-Americans (which often paints a great expectation for the genre).

    Stripped down character study set in the era of The Wild West Some movies like to do everything all at once, keeping many plates spinning, while others take one plate and fill that up. Appaloosa is one of the latter and all the better for it as director Ed Harris sticks to the spirit of Robert B. Parker’s books. In this series Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) and Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) are partners as peacekeepers for hire. If you’ve got…

    ¿Un cigarro? No fumo. Banda sonora tan maravillosa, qué tremenda, me dieron ganas de irme para Austin y esperar a Viggo Mortenssen me rescate. Me gustó el trasfondo pero odié que la deslealtad gane, la estúpida de Ali French debía morir por desleal e infiel, sobre todo por interesada, nunca hubo verdadero amor ahí, era buena fingidora. Amo la amistad entre Viggo y Ed en la película, conviene tener amistades leales y paradas ante cualquier situación con uno. Disfruté los…

    Not to lie, after a solid year and a half of watching hard boiled revisionist westerns, watching a film like this, with a super throwback, traditional feel actually felt quite refreshing. I mean, sure, it lacked a bit of depth and Jeremy Irons’ character could have been a whole lot better, but hell. I was entertained. And very much so.

    Expectativa: Assistir um filme de tiroteio, sangue e morte no velho oeste. Realidade: Passei quase duas horas vendo um velho sendo corneado mansamente por, basicamente, todos os personagens masculinos do filme. Só não dei 1 estrela p esse filme pq tem o Viggo Mortensen.

    Directed by Ed Harris, ‘Appaloosa’ is a classical throwback western built around a ‘protect the town’ plot where two tough lawmen attempt to solve a murder and impose order on an abusive cattle baron (Jeremy Irons). Beautifully shot and well-acted, the film opts for a little offbeat, laid-back tone punctuated by sudden bursts of comedy and violence. Rather than reaching great dramatic heights, it remains a quite enjoyable, comforting ride filled with morally complex characters, tough decisions, and a few…

    Eso que debería ser y no es, la idea de hacer lo correcto o lo que le parece a uno sobrevuela todo el film. En este mundo de miedos sin leyes ni moral algo tiene que tener sentido, creerlo y llevarlo adelante es algo para ejercitarlo todos los días. Aun cuando pierdas amigos y amores en el camino, cabalgar hacia el horizonte buscando un mundo mejor

    something feels off here. what is the tone of the movies supposed to be? the music does not help, that is for sure. and everyone is so one-dimensional… “he is the capitalist pig now”, “she sleeps around now” – ok, I guess. but why not develop something along the way like explain that the bad guy only wants the town to prosper or something, by his evil means. or that she had a history of trusting wrong men, and now…

    Buena pelicula. Como se ve la pelicula(montaje y calidad visual) es exactamente como debería verse un western. Grandes actores trabajando como los de esta película sin duda hace la diferencia. En cuanto a la historia, es entretenida y se hace fácil de ver, lo cual es valorable, pero se la siente muy ligera, con poca carga emocional quizá.

    Revisitando filmes que vi no passado, assisti Appaloosa – uma cidade sem lei. Logo no começo do filme, o personagem do Viggo Mortensen lança: “Mas a vida tem um jeito de fazer as coisas previsíveis nunca acontecerem, e as imprevisíveis se tornarem sua vida” Um western que foge do convencional, focado nas questões psicológicas e existenciais dos personagens. Ed Harris que dirige e atua no filme, subverte as expectativas do gênero tornando os conflitos do velho oeste mais humanos e reais.

    généralement je suis bcp plus adepte des westerns + froids, mais ici ça ne m’a pas gêné + que ça car c’était plutôt bien écrit et les personnages bien développés dcp c’était plutôt intéressant à suivre, sans être transcendant non plus la réal est propre, y’a pas vrm d’éclairs de génie mais c’est assez homogène viggo carry trop le film
