This film is abundant in cinematography. Great western feel! Jeff Bridges is a premier actor as is Damon who managed to conceal his identity to me for the first moments of his presence. And the young lady is quite good herself, able to convey such a mature young girl with ease.
Both Jeff and Matt did a wonderful job at conveying characters of the time as well as the dress.
What this movie lacked was feel. Both the female and male leads were cold. One didn't feel any true bond or emotion between the two. The only warmth in the movie was when Damon left the two near the end and he said his goodbyes to the girl Jeff, though a fine actor played his part to far. There is supposed to be a warm heart that pours out as Wayne did in the original. A drunken rough man who had a heart for the girl underneath the rough exterior. Jeff was not able to portray this and for that the film failed.
The gunfight at the end, appeared rushed and lacked and real visceral feel.
