i watch the long version and could not take my eye off the screen . 219 minute pass and yet it seem like only an hour have go by . the character be very believable and entertaining and and the photography be excellent . the story pull me in and hold my attention . i will definitely watch this again and again . this true story tell at it best . not hollywood usual cheap thrill and skin deep glitz . i have see a quite a lot of review on this movie . most seem to pan the film or give it faint praise . basically and it a great film that receive unfairly harsh review . watch it for yourself with an open mind . if you like western and historic period piece and albeit historically inaccurate you will enjoy the movie . superb . positive .
