Comanche Moon takes us Ten years into the future Call and Gus are now approching middle age and Rangering is all they have known both men have two women waiting for them for Gus it's the love of his life Clara for Call it's a young whore named Maggie Tilton who is in love with Call both women want their men to give up Rangering but it's in their blood. Gus and Call are made Captains and their responsbilties increase. This puts a hardship on Gus and Clara's relationship as she wants him to give it up. For Call it's duty above else even above a woman who loves him. This tale could be called Bittersweet a love letter to a bygone age. Steve Zahn however amazed me he actually Channels Robert Duvall you can even see Duvall in Zahn's performance he acts like him so much it's uncanny. Karl Urban is easily one of the best Woodrow Call's ever portrayed his performance stands up to Tommy Lee Jones portrayal and maybe actually even betters it. What makes this movie so outstanding is the level of respect that comes across it's well down and is respectful to the book from which it is based on. Val Kilmer is excellent as Captain Scull making again a argument that he is simply one of the best in Hollywood today. Highly recommended highly enjoyable and well worth buying on DVD when it comes out.
