Synopsis
When two gunmen, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch, arrive in Appaloosa they find a small, dusty and lawless town suffering at the hands of renegade rancher Randall Bragg. Bragg has not only taken supplies, horses and women for his own, but also has left the city marshal and a deputy for dead. In Bragg they find an unusually wily adversary who raises the stakes by playing with emotions. It is now up to Cole and Hitch to stand against the actions of the renegade rancher, which have already taken their toll on the town.

APPALOOSA
FINALLY!!! When they set out to make a western, they actually made a REAL western. It's so realistic that it could have very easily been based on a true story. WELL DONE. FIVE STARS.
a old fashion western
i can't believe no one has rated this movie yet. i saw it last saturday and have been talking about it since.
its a very good "old fashioned western" just like the ones that use to be a regular friday release. the realism is great even down to the little brown lumps on the ground where horses and cows been.
the action is very good and actors even better.its what we use to call a "shoot em'up" and is proof that you don't need special effects or computer generated images to tell a story. go see it and take your wife she'll enjoy it too.
