'Appaloosa': Wild Horses Couldn't Keep Me Away
Ben Witherington (Free subscription) | 10/03/2008
Its fall and time for another attempt at a classic Western. Last fall there were two such attempts (Russell Crowe's "3:10 to Yuma" and the more mystical 'The Outlaw Jesse James'). This fall's attempt at this genre of film is Ed Harris's (director) 'Appaloosa'. With an all star cast of Ed himself playing the City Marshall Virgil Cole, and Viggo Mortensen playing his sidekick 'Hitch', with Jeremy Iron's...

The Week in Film, 10/3
The Plank (Free subscription) | 10/03/2008
My review of Blindness , Fernando Meirelles's dour, ill-conceived adaptation of the Jose Saramago novel is here . Just a few words on two other releases today: The Ed Harris-directed (and -starring) Western Appaloosa is of the Open Range variety: Perfectly solid but not terribly memorable or ambitious. Harris is not much of a director, but he and Viggo Mortensen are more than adequate as hard-bitten...

CinePhillyist Reviews... Appaloosa
Phillyist (Free subscription) | 10/03/2008
Ed Harris is well known as an actor, but he's also branched out into directing a couple of times. The first was 2000's powerful artist biopic Pollock . The second is the western Appaloosa , which opens today. Besides directing the film, Harris also stars and contributed to the screenplay, which is an adaptation of Robert Parker's novel. Harris plays Virgil Cole, one part of a two-man peace-keeping...

Strong, silent type
Philadelphia Inquirer (Free subscription) | 10/03/2008
WHEN YOU look over Ed Harris' extensive filmography, it's surprising how few Westerns he's made. He seems ideally suited for the genre - rugged, serious, don't talk much - and his new film, "Appaloosa," which he also co-wrote and directed, gives him a great chance to act tough, ride horses and chase bad guys.

'Appaloosa' not quite the best in the West
Chicago Tribune (Free subscription) | 10/03/2008
Rating: 2 1/2 stars (fair-good) After this crummy week for American capitalism, people might be in the mood for the wide-open spaces and stripped-down narrative objectives of director Ed Harris' "Appaloosa." It's less a western than a loping buddy picture, based on Robert B. Parker's novel, that happens to be set in the territory of New Mexico, 1882.

Everything's solid about 'Appaloosa'
Detroit Free Press (Free subscription) | 10/03/2008
"Appaloosa" is the sort of solid, simple Western that Hollywood used to crank out 20 times a year. Ed Harris, working from a Robert Parker novel, has crafted a meticulously detailed, newfangled old-fashioned morality tale about hard men who go soft when a woman comes between them.
