APPALOOSA (Theatrical Release USA 2008)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

Appaloosa is a good show and worth watching especially for the storyline. The presentation is good; the portrayal is okay. The acting is good. The movie quickly becomes an immersive watch that drives a strong need to finish it. It is not predictable and ends on an unexpected note. Viggo Mortensen plays the western genre very well. Know there is suggestive dialog, some nudity from a distance, but it is not over-the-top and it does not serve as the main, repetitive, scene after scene purpose of the movie.
