Appaloosa Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
After Appaloosa establishes its slightly modern characters in a traditional setting, it has nowhere to go but toward the completely expected.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Harris co-wrote, directed and stars in the film, which is filled with humor, action and clever turns.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Harris displays a quiet, unshowy confidence and a genuine fondness for the genre, capturing the horses and guns and saloon glasses in a soft, almost-sundown light.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
There's a refreshing vein of understated humor running throughout the production. It's neither forced nor unnatural and it keeps things from becoming too somber, even when the bullets start flying.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
Appaloosa takes the traditional notion of a lone lawman fighting injustice and turns it successfully on its head.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
From its first, mournful brass theme, Ed Harris's Appaloosa nails the look and feel of a classic Western. This is an old-style, laconically macho, six-shooting horse opera made with an obvious and unapologetic love of the genre.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
A warmly made, slightly offbeat movie about friendly devotion. It also happens to be a western, and every man in it is grizzled or wizened or both.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Mortensen should certainly do another western, soon. Preferably he should do one with a real sense of danger to go along with all the neat, tidy, highfalutin' honor and decency.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Harris directs with a steady hand and sharp eye for the best in his fellow actors.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A suitable slow burn punctuated by sudden acts of violence; it fairly oozes off the screen like bloodied molasses, and then, heated, bubbles up and over, all smoke and fire and endless clouds of New Mexico dust.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Quiet, contemplative and with an astonishing climax that spins the film on its head and gives it meaning and nuance I almost didn't see coming, this is a story of male friendship that's both stirring and powerful.
At the Movies
Ben Lyons
It was at times incredibly slow and even poorly edited, and I've never understood the appeal of Renee Zelwegger.
At the Movies
Ben Mankiewicz
Ed Harris does it better than anybody.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Dialogue, much of it lifted straight from Parker's novel, proves mostly engaging.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
In its own quiet way it delivers the goods.
Washington Post
Mike Mayo
Filled with dusty light, craggy facial features and broad landscapes, it's a solid story that honors the traditions of the genre as it reworks them.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
For its first hour or so, Appaloosa is a crisply paced pleasure, mostly thanks to the interplay between Harris and Mortensen.
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
Appaloosa is a familiar story told well enough that it's worth seeing, but won't truly linger for any but the most diehard Western fanatic.
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A fine dramatic comedy with fresh characters, witty dialogue and a keen interest in how relationships must have developed among frontier folks, tyrannical ranchers, no-nonsense lawmen and -- oh, yes -- the complicated women on that frontier.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Appaloosa is an archetypal western with touches of the modern buddy comedy. Though it falls short of these classics, it is a little bit Destry Rides Again and a little bit more Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
