Being raised on the Western/War genre in a family whose Dad didn't get to sleep without seeing one on TV, it was fun to see films like "3:10 To Yuma", and now "Appaloosa."I am a big fan of Viggo, and he again is connected to his role as if he WAS "Hitch." I have a problem with actors directing themself...its a quirk of mine, but Ed was good.The action is worthy of the "oater" label and there is relativly little offensive language which; in itself is a miracle. It is a fine film of fun and suspense, "shoot 'em up!"It DID NOT end as I was assuming it would, which always makes me want to see it over and over. The BluRay is exquisite.My kids loved it too.Oh yes, a great film to see quality of attention to the period and re-creating it for the audience.
