This movie is set in the old timey US frontier. Cate Blanchett plays a single mother homesteader who has a sort of flirtatious working relationship with Aaron Eckhart. Out of nowhere her estranged father who had run off to live with some manner of Pueblo Native American tribe shows up and is all like, "Hey, long time no see, I'm mystically aware of the natural world now and would like to reconnect with you and my grandkids." Cate Blanchett's pissed. She tells him to bounce and like a sad ol' dispossessed Native American, down the trail he goes.
Then, out of nowhere, her girls get snatched up by an Apache gang that's going to sell them to the owner of a Mexican whorehouse across the border. They kill Aaron Eckhart and Cate Blanchett is forced to call on crafty ol' Tommy Lee Jones to hunt them down and get them back.
Val Kilmer shows up only briefly as a semi corrupt US Cavalry officer who is ineffectively chasing down the Apaches. Apparently he agreed to appear in it as part of his role on the New Mexico Film Board, which tries to get movies to film in New Mexico (seriously).
This movie features one Batman (VK) and two Twofaces (Eckhart and T.L.Jones) but no x-men. I kind of love Tommy Lee Jones.
