Most of the time I hate remakes....but I give a big pass to most Western and War movie remakes.
Mainly that's because, until MAS*H early war movies had soldiers that looked like they stepped out of the shower and put on a freshly laundered uniform...you know, instead of the realities of life in combat zones.
And the same goes with Westerns, the cowpokes may be riding the range...yet they look like they had the time to shower, shave, style their hair, and press their clothes.
None of that really sat right with me...at all.
The remake righted that wrong.
And it did it without killing the wonderful Elmore Leonard story the movie was based on and let's be honest, he really has the best ideas for crime and western stories the world has ever seen.
