Cowboys And Aliens: With Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford. Cowboys battle aliens in the Old West. Director: Jon Favreau. (1:55) PG-13: Violence. At area theaters.
There are more cowboys than aliens in "Cowboys & Aliens," which was the best decision made in this hybrid action-adventure since there are certainly more then enough aliens at the multiplex these days.The sole treasure of "Cowboys & Aliens" is that director Jon Favreau ("Iron Man") has fashioned an actual rawhide ride from a graphic novel (that took six writers to wrangle to the screen).
His cast is game, with Craig leaving no stone face unturned as essentially a Man with No Name and Rockwell bringing character-actor chops. Ford is kicky and loose as an old saddle bag, though the story gives him little to do.Everyone's pretty blasé about the saucers. Heck, someone's even a covert cosmic visitor and does nothing cooler than not burn.
