Another revenge flick where the protagonist is a wronged woman, the villain is a religious psycho-bigot, and the "good man"/sidekick supporting role is both "colorful" and subordinate? **That's** original. (sarcasm_off.)I can hear the pitch now: "It's like Django, but with a chick - and I can make it for just 7 mil!".Also, I wonder how many "Mad Men" fans and X-Men fan boys (yes, I know how it's spelled, but IMDb's stupid spell-checker won't let me enter it *correctly*) will buy a ticket just to gawk at JJs boobies - and still take their girlfriends with them to see it. ("What? Honey, it's a *feminist* revenge flick!") Lol - it's a two-fer!"You see, this is what I don't understand: I don't understand how so many people with so much talent can spend so much money and make so much crap." - Senator Jay Bulworth (Warren Beatty)

January Jones plays the main lead in this and she is really great in this. Ed Harris also has a blast and the movie overall is a nice addition to the western genre. It has all the right ingredients (with added female nudity, which isn't something that is a given of course) and was obviously fun to shoot.The movie itself which was playing at the Fantasy Filmfest in Germany when I watched it, is predictable because of the known story line (even without me saying where this is going, you'll see it coming from a thousand miles). But the fun you can have with it, is still there, especially if you have a soft spot for Western movies in general

Long-haired religious nut (Jason Isaacs) kills the husband of former prostitute-turned-farmer (January Jones). Violent revenge western dressed up with quirky types and some fairly weak attempts at profundity. Cast is solid with Ed Harris in particular having a good time with his role. However, it's one of those movies where everybody acts like characters instead of people. A little bit of that goes a long way. January Jones has a topless scene so boob lovers can check her off their list. It's all pretty by-the-numbers and there are no real surprises. Harris is the best part. I can't really recommend it but if you are forced to watch it, it won't make your eyes burn.

This is how we like our Westerns in Europe! Lotsa guns, lotsa dead men and a prostitute who wins! Yeah baby, give it to us! The only problem is that we kinda do our own fights here in Europe with many more dead people, we kinda like to copy all that 45 caliber. Yumm! What do you say about film like that, then excellent! Acting very very good! Scenery very very good! Costumography very very good! All in all a helluva Western! Pull that 45! Many times over! ;)
