It was at times incredibly slow and even poorly edited, and I've never understood the appeal of Renee Zelwegger.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Ed Harris does it better than anybody.
Appaloosa takes the traditional notion of a lone lawman fighting injustice and turns it successfully on its head.
Dialogue, much of it lifted straight from Parker's novel, proves mostly engaging.
Harris displays a quiet, unshowy confidence and a genuine fondness for the genre, capturing the horses and guns and saloon glasses in a soft, almost-sundown light.
