Plot 411: A hired posse track and hunt down a man from the mountains to the plains in search for revenge.

Review: I'm not a huge western fan, especially if it's slow going. Fortunately, most movies of this genre have some sort of gun slinger or bandit to make it exciting. This movie was more of a chase movie though - one man hunting down another. It sounds exciting, but it took a while for the plot to unfold, and I almost lost my patience. Why is one guy chasing the other? Why is he so angry? What's his deal? There were so many questions. In the end, it all comes together though. Interestingly, the leads are both Irish - Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson. As in most westerns, the landscape was stunning. From the snowy mountains to the arid desert, the panoramic shots were amazing.

Watch It: To see one of the few western films around these days.

Skip It: If you could do without the horses and dust.
