I guess I was wrong about westerns, because this was very good. I thought it was going to be just cool guys with their cool hats and cool mustaches shooting guns in a dusty patch outside of a saloon. That stuff happens, but Val Kilmer is really funny, and I was pretty into him. There are also women characters, Jason Priestley, and John Locke from Lost. The worst part is Michael Rooker's curly hair.
