'Appaloosa' Suffers From Pacing Problemsnew
Ed Harris, who co-wrote and also directed, imbues the project with the same quiet dignity Virgil and Everett comport themselves with, but his pensive, at times lethargic pace brings the action to a screeching halt once too often.

Old-fashioned Western 'Appaloosa' Moves Along in Fits and Startsnew
This film from Ed Harris is not nearly as good as either Open Range or Yuma, but despite the fact that it sometimes moves at a crawl, it's more or less a solidly entertaining throwback.

'Appaloos' is Nothing if Not Laid-Back -- Really Laid-Backnew
The themes throughout are familiar: the bonds between men, the desire for domesticity in the arms of a good woman versus the desire to remain free, most of all the challenge of establishing justice in places where the rule of law is more hope than hard fact. Too bad Harris is content to casually put these ideas on display rather than to put them through their paces.
