I oftentimes check imdb ratings before watching the movie, for in most of the cases ratings give a pretty good estimation of the quality of the movie. For some reason, I started to watch this movie even if the rating is fairly low, and I was surprised of the quality of the movie. Story, cast, directing and overall quality of the movie was actually fairly good. It did not feel like a waste of time at all.
Having said that, there is something simplistic or hard-boild in the movie, including some of the characters, and that is likely to make some people critical about their reviews. At the same time I can't help seeing something artistic in this movie. I kind of enoyed its simplicity and slow pace.
So, my point is that the oveall quality of this movie may be better than the ratings it has got. I would have expected this to be rated somewhere in the region of 5.5 or even higher. In all, this movie is worth watching. In spite of its obvious clichés, it brings some novel nuances to the Western genre.
