The Little Bohemia battle was downright visceral with the effects and sounds of .45s and ought six slamming into the ground, trees and the steel cars.
Stephen Lang and Don Frye(remember that monster in the UFC?) almost steal the show as FBI gunfighters Winstead and Hurt. Frye has almost no lines, just his face is a character.
I'm now rereading the book it was based upon.
