Here is the review of First : Pair of aces. Since their meeting on the set of A History of Violence, Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen had sworn to work together again. The opportunity presented itself with this second feature film by Ed Harris, adapted from a novel set in the West in 1880. At first glance, the setting gives an impression of déjà vu, amplified by a series of situations seemingly familiar ones that evoke Rio Bravo or 3:10 for Yuma (recently remade). But the impression is misleading. You have to wait until the second third to know where the film is going – a psychological study of the complicity between two brutal vigilantes, ideally embodied by the two main actors.
By working together, they have absolute trust in each other. This is the reason for their success. And it’s a pleasure to see them interact and express themselves, most of the time without words. Like all good western characters, they are laconic, one by nature (Hitch/Mortensen), the other by clumsiness (Cole/Harris) – even when he wants to, he cannot express himself through words .
