When two gunmen, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch, arrive in Appaloosa they find a small, dusty and lawless town suffering at the hands of renegade rancher Randall Bragg. Bragg has not only taken supplies, horses and women for his own, but also has left the city marshal and a deputy for dead. In Bragg they find an unusually wily adversary who raises the stakes by playing with emotions. It is now up to Cole and Hitch to stand against the actions of the renegade rancher, which have already taken their toll on the town.

This dvd is superb. Appaloosa is a Western film based on novel Appaloosa by crime writer Robert B. Parker.
It stars Ed Harris (who also directs the film), and Viggo Mortensen (of Lord Of The Rings fame).
Appaloosa is centred around lawman Virgil Cole (played by Ed Harris) and his sidekick Everett Hitch (played by Viggo Mortensen), who are two friends who are hired to defend a lawless 1880s town from a murderous rancher - Randall Bragg (played by Jeremy Irons).
Their efforts are disrupted and their friendship is tested by the arrival of an attractive widow - Allie French (played by Renée Zellweger of Bridget Jones fame).
Well worth watching.

It sounds like the set-up for a straight-shooting Hollywood western, but Ed Harris, in his second directorial outing after the Oscar-winning Pollock (2000), takes a left-field approach. The gunplay between the good guys and the bad guys merely opens the way for an unconventional romance yarn. Ren??e Zellweger plays the itinerant widow who catches the eye of both Virgil (Harris) and Everett (Mortensen) and yet the truest expression of love comes in low-key moments between the two leading men.

No sound lightens a moviegoer's heart more than pounding hoofbeats heard before the opening credits. A western is about to begin, and, if everything goes right, nothing can be better than that.
Appaloosa, the latest film to start with that familiar sound, has done much right, but not everything. Based on a novel by Robert B. Parker, its story -- of how a woman comes between two men in the New Mexico territory of 1882 -- has its virtues undercut by the way that critical female role has been handled.

very good, don't miss this great western. ed and viggo, great combo what more can i say. viggo this days cant make any bad movies, he's striking gold every time. 3 of 4 stars very good.
A marshal and his deputy try to apprehend a murderer. The movie also contains romance. Ed Harris, as in other roles he's played, deserves praise for his acting.
This is a decent western; nothing special. The action moves too slowly at times. They could have trimmed off 20 minutes by moving the plot along less slowly. Sometimes you think you may fall asleep waiting for a character to talk.
