Thank you for the review Cas,
I will pick this up when the price drops as in no rush to watch, But it does sound promising :)

We need more good westerns! Bring back Deadwood!
 
Pretty accurate review of what was a bit of a slow burner of a movie but gelled really well towards the finale.
I also happened to watch Salvation the same week and both were very pleasant surprises
 
Spot on review imho, think I gave it 6.5/10. Reasonable enough movie, although I wouldn't revisit it I don't think.

For such a beautiful movie I also found the framing choice to be jarring. I don't recall seeing many 1.66:1 movies, and I just thought it was odd. With some of those dreamlike vistas, it's a crying shame they didn't frame this at 2.4:1 :(
 
6.5/10 just about right Smurfin and like you did not like the aspect ratio at all.
