Appaloosa
ED HARRIS is a star and director of this wry, enjoyable Western set in the New Mexico of 1882.
Harris and loyal companion Viggo Mortensen are hired to restore law and order to a town in the grip of ruthless ranch owner Jeremy Irons.
The battle of wills is complicated by the arrival of genteel widow Renée Zellweger and a distracting romance, although the most convincing relationship is the friendship between Harris and the excellent Mortensen.
