Co-written, starring and directed by Ed Harris, based on the 2005 novel by Robert B. Parker, Appaloosa (2008) is a superb Western film that contains many story elements from old genre classics combined with modern grittiness and graphic violence. The plot concerns a terrorized town that hires a rough lawman and his fearless deputy to stand up to the brutal rancher that causes so much misery. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen are great as the good guys. Jeremy Irons is fantastic as the bad guy. Renee Zellweger is sexy as the promiscuous love interest, appearing nude in a distant shot. The supporting cast is good as well, including Lance Hendriksen.
