Denice and seen this Saturday afternoon and it was rather good. It starts of like a good old fashion western. 3 hicks try to attack a man with no shoes or weapons then the 3 kicks get...... well you know.
Daniels Craig is very good in this roll. He does a little James Bond style ass kicking during the movie but he also made a very good Cowboy. Harrison Ford's role is a little unusual for him. He starts out being the rich land owner with a bad attitude but it ch-ch-changes for the better during the movie.
Olivia Wilde is built like a shit brick house. So seeing her was worth the price of admission alone.
Good movie. Many parts give you the feeling of a good old time western.
Would recommend seeing it.

Saw this movie tonight from Netflix. I was kind of disappointed.
It seemed very disjointed, like the filmmakers hadn't decided what they wanted to do. Did they want a Western? A Sci-Fi? A love story? I can understand wanting them all, and that's cool, but the various aspects, to me, just didn't gel.
Daniel Craig was good in his role, doing a decent impression of a steely-eyed Steve McQueen anti-hero. And Harrison Ford did a good job of evolving from a bad guy to a just misunderstood guy to an almost good guy by the end. And of course Olivia Wilde is H.O.T. at all times.
But somehow, the movie never rose above mediocre for me. I never rooted for any of the characters, and I never really cared about the outcome. The most compelling character in the story was the poor dog. Sorry, Favreau! You've done better.
