My husband and I don't usually watch Westerns together because I am not usually a big fan, save Cormac McCarthy. I was playing on steam as he decided to watch this and I kept overhearing it, so thirty minutes later, I ask him to start over and we watched it together. I was captivated. The plot line was great, American history was involved, there were no uncomfortable moments where I had to fast forward through an obvious moral being pushed. It was just a good old (new?) Fashioned film with good writing, good casting, good pace, and surprisingly captivating as a Western for me. We bought it. GJ.
