I usually tend to like my westerns with a bit more gunplay, but this one is really good to me without it. It's really sad but it also has some offbeat humor in it.

The disc played fine, no problems. The story was somber/melancholy but gave good insight into what people/women faced in 1850 - pioneering the great plains. A good story, well acted by all. The leads held by Tommy Lee Jones (who also directed) and Hilary Swank (who had no problem presenting herself as very plain), A far cry from her movie P.S. I Love You. HA! Plus a cameo by Meryl Streep, (as always, great job). The story provides a strikingly bleak portrait of life for women trying to settle the Midwest USA. The story - a haunting collage of madness and strength - a very risky film for Jones but I think he pulled it off.

This was a good movie for any fan of Tommie Lee Jones. It was a little different and I don't recall when this came out, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was a good movie and entertaining, with an unexpected story line.

What a great cast of characters in this movie!! Tommy Lee Jones has a great sense of humor in this movie even though it is a sad movie for the most part.

This movie is one of those movies that takes you by surprise. You just can’t imagine what’s next . It definitely keeps your attention
