It's like the 80's and early 90's take on noir. Some differences compared to the old days, but still noir. Same here. Not every western is a fast paced shoot'em up. Characterizations
, themes, principles and culture aspects matter.

Okay, not necessarily pace, but for me it's not truly a Western unless it takes in that time period and I suspect it's the same for a great many people.

What it boils down to is I don't think that the overall lack of interest in this film can be attributed to a lack of interest in westerns, because I don't think many people view this is as being one.
