Appaloosa

Two gunslingers (Ed Harris, who also directs, and Viggo Mortensen), a girl (Renee Zellweger), a villain (Jeremy Irons) - the gunslingers are lanky, hard-bitten, taciturn; they're partners, and they travel from town to town upholding the law for pay; the girl (neither a whore nor a squaw, as one of the characters comments, though not exactly the faithful wife type either) makes her entry in a carriage and dressed in finery, and comes between the lawmen, though not in quite the way that one would expect; the villain is suitably villainous, smooth talking, quick on the draw and murderous...it's a western, alright. But it has some nice touches, particularly the subtle interactions between Harris and Mortensen and the occasional flashes of wry humour, often involving Harris's character's inability to recall the precise word that he wishes to use, and it's economically written and directed enough that it holds the attention the whole way through.
