Appaloosa isn’t quite a modern classic Western, but it is still a thoroughly enjoyable, solid entry in the genre, adopting the same refreshing approach as the greats Unforgiven and Open Range, but falling down slightly by trying to inject a new twist on females in the West. Still, the end result is extremely entertaining, taut material, with solid performances and gunfights with gravitas. On Blu-ray you’re looking at a good visual presentation of the movie, a well-observed audio mix and a wealth of nice extras to round off the disc and keep fans occupied for hours. If you like Westerns then this should already be in your shopping basket but if you’re not quite convinced then this may not do the job. Still, it comes recommended.

Cheers Cas.

I was discussing this with Prof John Belton not too long ago, and he was of the opinion that it was one of only a few recent films where the director was fully using the 'scope format, without half a mind worrying that it'd be cropped to 2:1.

Looks like a good 'un.
