Appaloosa

Another one from the heart from Ed Harris who co-wrote, directed, and stars along with Viggo Mortensen and Renee Zellweger.

Two friends in the Old West are hired on to police the town of Appaloosa. They are professionals but have a diificult time bringing a muderer to justice. Their lives are complicated by the arrival of a widow.

This one feels just right...the cold ruthlessness but fairness of the lawmen, the bad guys who feel they are above the law, and a love story that's quirky and integral to the plot.

Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen strike just the right chord together as friends and coworkers who are good at what they do...they just don't verbalize that much about the ethics or morality of their profession.
