One of if not the best Western I've seen. Clint Eastwood's pretty cool in this. I wish they would have had some more variety or interest in the locations though. It would be cool to see seguaro cacti or Monument Valley. The locations were definitely fine and they worked well, it's just that I appreciate when there's more scenic landscapes with cool flora and fauna. They did however include some interesting plateaus and succulents, which was nice.
