1882, New Mexico Territory. Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) and Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) are itinerant lawmen, hired by desperate towns as Marshal and Deputy, respectively. The city fathers of Appaloosa hire them after Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons), a newly-arrived rancher with money and a gang of thugs, disrupts commerce and kills three local lawmen. Cole and Hitch contrive to arrest Bragg and bring him to trial, but hanging him proves to be difficult. Meanwhile, a widow has arrived in town, Allison French (Renée Zellweger), pretty, refined, and good-natured. Virgil falls hard, and it seems mutual, but there may be more to Allison than meets the eye. Can friendship and skill with a gun overcome a pernicious villain and green-eyed jealousy?
Leave your thoughts about Appaloosa.
| Sin MagazineAustin KennedyIt's a rousing, efficient western that is about the friendship of two men, just as much as it is about getting the bad guys. |
| Daily Mirror (UK)David EdwardsIn all, it's a magnificent ride and certainly one of the finest films of the year. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeIf it feels a bit like an old Howard Hawks western (no slacker with the subtext himself) -- that's not a bad thing. |
| Washington TimesKelly Jane TorranceThe requisite standoffs and shootouts make this one tense film, but the mood is frequently lightened with a generous dose of surprising humor. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellHarris follows his strong helming debut Pollock with a contribution to the western movie revival that looks and sounds like a classic. |
| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensCan Ed Harris, of all people, save the Western for this generation? |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowGoes down like a single-malt aged for 25 years. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderVastly entertaining in the old-fashioned ways: fun story, fun characters, fun everything. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. Smith...one heck of a western, one that will join the ranks of "Unforgiven" and "3:10 to Yuma" as modern classics. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversAppaloosa is gripping entertainment that keeps springing surprises. |
