The definition of turgid...

I threw a loogey at the wall of my tool shed and watch it drip down to the ground. It was cold so it took a long, long time. And in those moments of reflection I got as much as I got from watching 90 minutes of this terribly failed and ostentatious attempted throwback to the good old westerns. But Cassar can't direct without screwing up the screen direction. That is his only innovation, and it belongs exclusively to 24. This was miserable. Nice attempt at putting at father and son together but a total failure, and Demi Moore looks 63.

I have to agree, it felt uninspired and tired. And I've always liked the main actors, but this was the lamest western I've seen in.....at least the last year or two.

Some beautiful scenery, but meh, I've lived in the West, I've seen it. Tell me a story that is not so predictable.

Regarding Demi Mur, its all about dat white hur: https://youtu.be/S2d1azKRIeA

old, old, old, old, but still smooth

Its funny that most of the comments about this movie are negative, because in most of our opinions its a boring movie... a movie which casts demi moore in a role that she is about 20years to old to play, and the same goes for keifer sutherlandd character... But even though most people agree its just not worth watching, there are a few people who vehemently deny that its bad and insult those who dare to disagree with them....
Are these people really studio plants or people who have connections to this movie? Must be, otherwise why would they get so upset by people expressing their opinions??

So, only people who make films are eligible to post their thoughts and critiques about movies?

Tool.

You're right about this one though. It was sluggish throughout.
