Editorial Reviews Photographed handsomely with wide-angled majesty, the film does precious little myth-making, though Harris subtly twists some of the genre's conventions The Guardian (10/02/2008)
This is no revisionist western designed to shock life into an unfashionable genre, rather a film that respects the conventions of the traditional western The Times (10/02/2008)
