Rated R for violence, language and nudity
Starring January Jones, Jason Isaacs, Ed Harris
Directed by Logan Miller
The Story:
Sarah (Jones) is a former prostitute who has given up that life for married life on a farm in New Mexico. However her neighbor, the Prophet Josiah (Isaacs) is a little off his rocker, and when he kills Sarah's husband, she plots to exact vengeance. Complicating matters, there's a new sheriff (Harris) in town, and it's unclear how his investigation will help or hinder Sarah's plan.
Interesting.
It's nice to see a western on the screen again.
Isaacs plays a bad guy, like nobody's business. I hadn't seen him in anything in a long time, and I forgot how great of an actor he is. Apparently he's been hanging out making Harry Potter movies, so no wonder I haven't seen him.
:)
But yes, he is equally mesmerizing and evil at the same time throughout the movie.
Ed Harris on the other hand...
Well, he does a great job playing an Old West lawman. And then the script has the sheriff do odd things... like dance around in the desert... Kind of odd behavior.
Otherwise, no real complaints about anything.
Wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible. ;)
And apparently, as of this week, it's now streaming on Netflix for your viewing pleasure.
Final Grade: C+
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Had the rating been lower, replayability might be higher.
