How many westerns out there are about a hired gunman (in this case 2) that are hired to protect a town from a gang of outlaws?
Oh, and the hero of our story rides off into the sunset at the end. Really I'm not kidding. As a matter of fact while typing this I decided to look up western cliches. Look at the list on this site and how many of them match Appaloosa.

Still there was enough to this movie for me to give it a 7/10 or a C as my signature explains.
How I rate movies: 5 stars=F,6 stars=D,7 stars=C,8 stars=B,9 stars=A.1-4 stars are very bad.
