Objective Rating: 8/10 (points off for pacing and music) c. 3.4/4 (Very good).

An interesting and suspenseful pseudo-Western. Great characters. It feels a lot longer than two hours - I don't know why, there's certainly not anything that I think should be cut - it's just the sort of thing that's meant to be slow. Music probably could have helped; there's very little score, and the few places it is used I didn't even notice it.
