Watch Appaloosa For Free

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This movie is quite slow, but hey, its a western after all. My favorite part is when the whore tries to split up Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris' bromance and fails miserably. Also, that 10 gauge shotgun is a metaphor for his dong. The bad dude in the movie is also very well acted. The whole movie you're just begging for revenge on the guy (I won't spoil the ending for you though) The only reason I took off a star is because Renee Zelwigger is freakin weird looking and her character drives me nuts, which makes her numerous spankings (both verbal and physical) from Ed Harris all the more satisfying. Overall a great blend of a traditional western with the building vengeance and methodical pace, mixed with elements of the modern. I give the bromantic part 10/10, 9/10 overall

"Appaloosa" is a good, fast-paced western. And while the movie is about two hours long, it doesn't seem like a long movie at all because the story is interesting and captivating.The story is about marshall Virgil Cole and deputy Everett Hitch who has come to Appaloosa to uphold the law and to investigate the disappearance of the former marshall and deputy.Usually westerns have a tendency to be full of clichés, but I didn't really think that to be the case in "Appaloosa". And director Ed Harris managed to put together an entertaining movie with a solid and proper storyline.The cast in the movie was quite good, and Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris were both doing amazing jobs in "Appaloosa". But also impressively was Jeremy Irons; his usual overacting and dramatizations wasn't there, and he put on one of his best performances of his career. And there was a great appearance by Lance Henriksen.It should also be said that the atmosphere and mood of "Appaloosa" was really good, and it was like you were actually there in the gritty, dusty old west.If you enjoy westerns, then you should most definitely watch "Appaloosa".

After Lonesome Dove the Western changed forever. Appaloosa follows perfectly in this genre, keeping to the theme of the story revealing character. Appaloosa displays such great direction in allowing moments of character revelation (which is reliant on great acting) and to take the time to allow it to happen and consequently made the movie a little short for me. I finished watching and immediately wanted a sequel because I cared about what happened next to the characters .....funny thing...Lonesome Dove was based on a novel that had to be a series, and Appaloosa is a Western movie that should have become another series....Appaloosa to me is like watching episode one of Lonesome Dove...you look forward to the next and the next...well done everyone....

It was very moral film. Savvy lawmen who were honest & told the truth, who never killed except to uphold the law. They defined integrity. I liked the quirkiness of the characters, e.g. the town leaders (Spall) funny bickering; "sequestered" and the other words that Mortenson defines for Harris. These vocabulary exchanges symbolized their relationship built on friendship, loyalty, & mutual trust. Sometimes it tried a bit too hard & it felt forced, perhaps because of the lack of flow in Irons' forced accent (why not let him be English?—he ends up importing that English steer anyway) & Zellweger's weirdness. Zellweger played her flawed character like Harris told her, but she needed to show a darker side—not just the insecure lunatic who was scared of everything. She was the antithesis of the men's morality, so why didn't she get punished? We didn't get stereotypical natives, but characters who accepted the horse because they had integrity. Hell, everyone had more integrity than her. The end showed Mortenson accepting her two- faced immorality only because Harris had affirmed that he wouldn't leave her. With this declaration, Mortenson had no other choice in the end but to move on (to take care of himself) & kill Irons (to aid Harris). I get it, but I didn't like it as an invested movie viewer who thought she was trash and didn't deserve him.
