A different western journey
9 January 2012
I was hesitant on watching this western although it has Clint in it because it just seemed really boring. Even the title seemed really boring like it's a movie about ranching. But surprisingly the movie starts out with a bang from the start. Clint plays a gunslinger once again but this time he is traveling with a nun. Which is interesting since it's a man that uses violence constantly to solve his problems and is with a nun who tries to go in a more peaceful direction and forgives those that wrong her. Although her naive and lazy manner gets annoying after a while. For a western that is overlooked it's actually a engaging western that is worth seeing. This isn't a western that has a bunch of stand offs and shootouts. Although it lacks the gritty western elements but backs it up with the intriguing combination of force and peace to make it through the journey. This is not a western that I am used to but it's still a good western journey that doesn't try too hard. The movie does have decent moments but sometimes the movie just seemed a bit dull and not all that entertaining. Overall despite some slow points this is a western that is well worth watching although it isn't for everyone that is into this genre.
