Sweetwater

Actors:  January Jones, Ed Harris, Jason Isaacs,
Rating:  6 out of 10, Kind of weird revenge western with a mildly psychotic Ed Harris prancing around as long haired sheriff prone to fits of ballet while administering beat downs and a fully psychotic Jason Isaacs as a horny man of God.  This was supposed to be January Jones’ vehicle but I’m not sure she has the presence to carry a movie beyond her obvious talents.  Jones plays an ex-prostitute out to avenge her husband’s murder at the hand of the fanatical Isaacs.  This was all a little too much tongue in cheek to be enjoyable; being weird just for weird’s sake doesn’t always work.  It doesn’t’ here.

MVP:  Jones for the above listed reasons
