So I'll come right out and admit that I've never been a fan of the western. The occasional will come around that thrills me and that is Tombstone or even Unforgiven. Hell, every once in a while I'll also check out one of the old Clint Eastwood or John Wayne flick simply because there's nothing else on television and they are mildly interesting. But it's just not my cup of tea to sit there and watch the Old West and experience what people did without electricity, indoor plumbing, and Blu-ray players. Yet, I decided to give Appaloosa a try because it's got Ed Harris in it. Ed Harris people. The guy just screams "cool psychopath." »»
Lone Rider is very generic and extremely simple. Bobby is the good guy and is coming back to town where everyone loves him, but is afraid to go against the word of the new dictator, Stu Croaker. This doesn't make it a bad film, but it does nothing to really make it much of a good one either. My biggest problem with Lone Rider is that it reminds me too much of Walking Tall. »»
