Much more of the focus will have been on Harrison Ford as he had made that terrible fourth Indiana Jones movie and it wasn't considered to be a particularly good film. It wasn't spectacular from him but he played it nicely. With him not being the main character there was a lot more freedom from him but he did spend one entire scene just looking worried- did anyone teach him to do something other than look worried or have that Indi smerk??
After more than an hour we welcome the first 'Alien' to the movie. With a weird bracelet until that point being the most alien like feature of the film and immediately after the introduction of the alien the woman being on the verge of death, after one hour the movie gets interesting. Even a top class performance from Daniel Craig doesn't make this a particularly interesting film. For the most part this plot just seems to go round in circles and rarely differentiates from other cowboy films. No one part stood out from the rest of the film and no one character stood out from the others. Daniel Craig had the most screen time so it looked like he was the best actor but he wasn't as good as he has been as James Bond.
Olivia Wilde was probably the best of the bunch and having more of 'Zoe' from 'Firefly' feel to her than of a typical woman in the west. She was strong and emotional but she wasn't the strongest character. That's not her fault and she did the best that she could with the character but her role was really to be the love interest of Daniel Craig, to die and come back to life and to just guide him along in the movie.
