Based on Robert B. Parker's 2005 novel of the same, Appaloosa follows two lawmen who attempt to "restore order" in a terrorized town.New Line Cinema: Appaloosa Press Release (October 15, 2007)
Todd McCarthy of Variety called the film a "decent" Western, thanks in part to the "engaging," "semi-comic" dialogue between co-stars Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen. McCarthy considered the direction and cinematography the film's "most disappointing aspect," since shots were often "standard" and looked "oddly thin."Variety: Appaloosa Movie Review (September 6, 2008)
Critic Roger Ebert gave Appaloosa three out of four stars in his review. He liked the movie's "easygoing rhythm" that allowed it to "absorb" and "weave" all the "character strands" into "something more engaging than a mere 1-2-3 plot."Roger Ebert: Appaloosa Review (October 2, 2008)
Emanuel Levy gave the film a "B" grade, praising the acting between Harris and Mortensen while indicating that the movie is "too grown-up" for teens, and too "undernourished" for adults.Emanuel Levy: Film Review - Appaloosa
