Just screened at TIFF. A paint-by-numbers movie that lacks finesse let alone originality. Every hoary western movie trope + cliché - and then some. Downright ridiculous at times. Kiefer Sutherland wasn't bad - just the material he was handed. Father Donald clearly understood the dilemma as his performance was on autopilot. Demi Moore was actually OK-ish in spite of obviously being the director's idea of stunt casting. Michael Wincott did the least-affected work with arguably the most affected character - he also got to be beautifully dressed (as every gentleman killer with a code of honour should). Cameron Bailey introduced the film as a uniquely "Canadian western". I understood how sly he was being about half-way through the screening. Good news; it was only 90 minutes long. In conclusion, rent 'Unforgiven' if you want to see how it is supposed to be done.
