Her behavior was the same behavior we see from men in a thousand classic Westerns, killing to avenge the murder of the person she loves. On the one hand, it was almost hypnotic to watch a woman killing almost casually, as men in Westerns (and in many action/adventure movies) have always killed. On the other, it made it even clearer how grotesque that killing is.

Also, the fact that she had to put on makeup and a gaudy dress to do it said something, though I'm not sure what.

Ed Harris was great.

Thanks for a way to spend a couple of hours while I am SICK WITH THE DAMN FLU!
