Not a lot of action but still a solid movie. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen were great at portraying quite but intimidating 'guns for hire'. The movie was more about the relationship of the two men vs. the actual events. Even though the men didn't go and kill everyone or crack jokes all the time, there was something about them that made you really like them and understand why the cowboys feared them. I got the impression that if Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday were to run into them that they may have a good showdown.

A skillful, character-driven, often humorous western with sure-handed direction by Ed Harris and believable atmosphere; Irons is not the snarling villain he usually plays and Zellweger is not the typical marm in distress; despite the solid performancess of Harris and Mortensen, there's just something off about the final act taken that leaves one wondering. Final Grade: B
