Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, immediately after the bad guy shoots the sheriff and the deputy, as he turns, the cocking lever of the Winchester is fully down (probably a jammed blank didn't eject). There's a cutaway and then while the bad guy is still walking away, we clearly see the rifle with the cocking lever is now fully retracted.

Allison French:
Aren't either of you afraid?
Virgil Cole: Afraid?
Allison French: That you might get killed.
Virgil Cole: Oh, I don't know, Allie. Guess I don't think about it so much.
Allison French: Well, I'm afraid. But I'm afraid all the time.
Virgil Cole: Of what?
Allison French: Everything.
Virgil Cole: Like what? Hmm?
Allison French: Like being alone. Like being with the wrong man. Not having any money, a place to live.

I saw this with 2 friends in the theatre, and we were all disappointed. One cliché after another, terrible dialogue, too long. Definitely a vanity project for Harris. I stayed to the very end to see who was singing the song for closing credits (Tom Petty) and then I hear another song with a familiar voice - it's Ed Harris! I knew it was him before I saw the credits! He can't sing. If that isn't a sure sign of a VP I don't know what is.
Terrible dialogue "I've known you a long time...as long as you've known me..." was actually repeated twice!
There was one good line, after a good "shoot 'em up" Everett says something like "that happened fast" to which Virgil replies, "that's cause everybody could shoot."
I agree with most of the other comments- it kind of went off the rails when Zellweger came into the picture.
Might be okay at home on DVD. 3:10 to Yuma was better.
