The list of westerns I have seen over the years can be counted on 2 hands.
out of that small amount this and Unforgiven are favourites, Costner and Duvall are well paired and this story although reasonably simply has great depth and heart.
It's an old fashioned western about free grazing and unlawful mercenaries and contains beautiful vistas and prolonged bone crunching shootouts, however although the film starts slowly the build-up pays off handsomely.
Costner's character gives off an air of being very dangerous when pushed and on the flipside shows his awkwardness when it comes to matters of the heart.
Annette Benning rounds off the movie as the believable Love interest in what I believe is a very well rounded small cast of actors in this very re-watchable western.

Uwe Boll recommended The Searchers (1956) in Movies (curated)

"Number five…like I said, it always changes. There are a lot of good movies out there [that are] from time to time favorites. I would do The Searchers, from John Ford, with John Wayne. I’m a big Western fan, and this was a great Western. John Ford is interesting; if you are younger, you don’t appreciate John Ford so much. I liked more Howard Hawks and William Wyler Westerns when I was younger, and now, later, if you get a little older, you like John Ford more and more. It’s the same with some writers. There are some writers you love when you’re 20, and when you’re 30 or 35 you think it’s completely silly bulls–t what the guys wrote (laughs), but you appreciate other writers."

Something different
Bit of a strange film a Western with a horror twist. It has a good cast and witty dialogue but some how felt rather low budget. The main problem is the film could easily be cut by about 30 minutes. It's very slow at the start and middle section. At least it's original.

Hmm not heard of the character before? This just seemed like a comic book western for me with a quirky supernatural element. It has a good cast and while not being a bad film, it does feel like there is something missing? It could have been a lot better. It's very short and simple and has some ok action scenes, that's about it.

A pretty decent western with a quality cast. It is very much a tracking a man on the run film, a very dangerous man as it happens. It is wonderfully shot as the backdrop changes from the snowy mountains, forests, open plains and into the desert. It gets a little surreal in the final third but still an interesting film.

I wasnt a huge fan of the original movie, however with the Coens onboard for the remake I was expecting good things.
All the signs were there and with usual Coen style this western was a move back to times of great storytelling and beautiful vistas.
With great dialogue and stunning performances from all players, this turned out to be very enjoyable.

"If David Lynch is the American take on surrealism, this is the Soviet take. Iranians share a lot of cultural references with people from Armenia, and seeing this, I almost saw a path through Iranian culture. The movie juxtaposes surreal elements from my culture without going through a Western gaze. It has some of the most amazing imagery I’ve ever seen."
