One of Altman's best. Anyone who wants to learn about filmmaking -- particularly direction, sound, editing, mise en scene -- should check this one out. The climax, nearly dialogue-less, is pretty brilliant. Ultimately kinda downbeat and bleak view of the American West -- but that's realistic. If you really want a bummer (but good) double-feature, rent this with "The Claim."
