...script, which Harris and Robert Knott have fashioned from Robert B. Parker's novel, Virgil and his sidekick Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen) have come to Appaloosa to cleanse it of the violence, intimidation and corruption of Bragg and his men.

...EASTERN PROMISES The new melodrama from David Cronenberg, the Canadian director with three decades of weird thrills on his résumé, has the vibe of his last one, A History of Violence. Viggo Mortenson is again a charismatic mystery man involved with organized crime. This time, in a script by Steve Knight (Dirty Pretty Things), it's the Russian mob in London.
