Despite starring two stellar actors in Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, I found this to be slow, plodding and just, well, boring; never really taking off or holding my attention at all.
You want to see a good film/Western (in all but name) by James Mangold? Stick with the infinitely-superior 'Logan'.

It's a brutal mash up of genres with great character development and dialogue and features Kurt Russell on particularly fine form.
Its pacing could be seen as a sticking point, however it deliberately and expertly builds tension and sets the scene for the gruesome stuff to come.
A very good horror that sticks in the mind.
