Summary: As a Chinese American Girl... THANK YOU!!!!! HUGS!!! Kisses!!
Comment: FINALLY!!! I love American Westerns. I love US History, Native Americans, horses and adventures. I grew up thinking "Why can't Chinese people have significant leading roles in the Westerns?" Were we not a part of the American history??? Railroad anyone? California Gold Rush? This is better than my wildest dreams! 5 Chinese girls in leading, respectable, roles in a Western!!! I am so happy! Thomas Haden Church is so hot because of this role!
Everyone!!! Go watch it!

Summary: A good Film But too long and NOT FOR THE FAMILY.
Comment: While I enjoyed the movie overall, I felt that it contained many negatives which took away from the overall enjoyment. The DVD is not rated but should be a Mature or an R for nudity and language. What I hoped to be another great western for the family to enjoy turned into an "OMG get the kids out of here" from the time I hit play.
It felt like they were trying to stretch out the movie by injecting subplots and majestic scenes instead of building on the main plot
Way to much foul language: I understand that such language is and has been around forever, but it should have been toned down in the movie.
Nudity: What occurred to the women could have been conveyed without the graphic scenes in the movie. While it did happen why show it in the manner they did? Ever heard of taste?
To many plot distractions: The plague carrier, the madam who bought the Chinese girls, the bad guy who was sent to pick up the Chinese girls. The therapeutic paper scene; Come on, is TP that exciting?
While I am in no way a prude and never want to see government censors dictating morals to the film industry. I find the modern trend in graphic sex, language, and violence portrayed in the film industry disappointing. I enjoy a good shoot-em up flick packed with action, blood and guts as much as the next person, but do you have to say the F word 5 times in a sentence. Do you have to show tasteless sex scenes? Do you need to show the torturous dismemberment of someone? Why is it so difficult to make a quality film now days? Maybe that's why there are so many remakes of old film coming out of Hollywood. Is the well dry? Is the talent of modern actors so limited that the audience must be distracted? BLAH BLAH BLAH.... I've said my piece.

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.
