Ed Harris stars in and directed this wonderful adaptation of the Robert Parker novel, Appaloosa. Ed tried to interest Hollywood moguls in producing it but they don't like westerns so he made it himself, like Costner staring in, directing, and putting up the money for Open Range because Hollywood wouldn't touch it. It would be politically incorrect to delve into why Hollywood won't make westerns. Appaloosa was filmed in Texas and New Mexico so it looks, feels, like the real thing - and it is. This is a straight-up western tale like the westerns of yesteryear, but with better production values. If you like westerns you'll love it. If you don't like westerns you will still find it hard to criticize.

I just saw the trailer on this. I really enjoy westerns and Ed Harris but I don't seen anything great coming from this. Maybe just another open range: Open Range
