Make no mistake this is a Western, the Liotta character is a stock Western character, an evil man who runs a town cause everyone is too scared to stand up to him. I think why this film didn’t do well is that it’s different it’s billed as a thriller but it’s a very slow paced film and it’s more about character. It’s an uneven film but i do like some of the characters, Anthony Hopkins is very good here as a guy who does things and says things but we don’t really know why, it’s hard to do films about quiet men cause we have to guess so much about them.
