Summary: Duvall is back on the trail again
Comment: If there are any actors today that can fit into chaffs and cowboy boots, they would be Clint Eastwood & Robert Duvall. Duvall has stated in an interview that of all the roles he has played as a character actor, none fit him better than that of a cowboy. This film is in a sense a continuation of his roles from "Lonesome Dove" to "Open Range" in which he plays a seasoned cowboy who has to fight the bitter elements, human and natural, in order to get the job done. Duvall is ably supported here by Thomas Haden Church who in a break from his comedic roles, is excellent as his long estranged nephew who joins him on the cattle drive. With excellent direction from long time vet Walter Hill and some fine support from Greta Scacchi as a former prostitute with a yen for Duvall, and James Russo & Chris Mulkey as the villains--"Broken Trail" is a trip you don't want to end despite its length (I saw a pre-screening of it before its showing on AMC with Hill in attendance and was impressed).

Summary: Easily one of the best-looking, best-acted westerns I've ever seen.
Comment: Both Robert Duvall and Thomas Haden Church excel and head a marvelous cast in this gripping western that is filled with amazingly beautiful images of the American Northwest. About 3 hours long, but it seems much less. I wanted it to go on and on. Two men with a plan for the future discover just how many curves fate can throw in their direction, and they adapt wonderfully. This is a western that your wife will enjoy as well as yourself; sometimes the heartstrings are being pulled as well as the triggers. The images on Blu-Ray are outstanding.

Summary: Broken movie...
Comment: An interesting western but filled with nudity and actions that bring the quality of he movie down. The acting was less than smooth.
Two cowboys save five chinese girls and have to take them cross country with them on their cattle drive.
I can't recommend this movie to any one.

Summary: Excellent beyond words!
Comment: This is wonderful movie where the cast fits "hand in glove." Words cannot describe how uplifting, heartwarming and refreshing it is to see a movie that focuses on compassion and care for others such as this, rather than the ad nauseum sagas of the self-centered, surgically "beautified" celebrities of today. Robert Duvall has starred in many movies that depict real people in realistic life situations, always with a villain we "love to hate." MORE PLEASE! M.L. Paxton

Summary: Good Buy!!
Comment: I would compare this movie to BBC Planet Earth. Both films are great, have a lot of amazing shots and a few not so amazing. My machine plays this movie at about half of computing power, electricity is filtered, HDTV (used as monitor)calibrated with Spider2Express. This Blu-ray release is not as good as 3:10 To Yuma. I would still recommend this purchase.
