The Dead Don't Hurt

...a solid and heartfelt romantic drama, which takes a primarily emotional approach to its genre revisionism.

...love blossoms amid violence in Viggo Mortensen’s western.

The film has its share of violence, brutality, and injustice, but its protagonists respond stoically to life’s misfortunes, where lust for revenge animates other heroes of the genre.

Viggo Mortensen's sombre take on the western evokes some classic Clint Eastwood films.

You get the impression that Mortensen would do a similarly fine job in real life, if he were handed a hat and badge.
