Story: The Lone Ranger's fable is told from the Native American warrior Tonto's perspective, in a tale where Texas Ranger, John Reid, and he team up to take revenge on a common enemy.

Movie Review: You've seen Johnny Depp playing a sozzled, swaying pirate with the luck of the devil by his side. Now, here's Depp, sans the sauce and in Native American garb as Tonto, with the devil-may-care attitude still in place.

A group of Rangers are sent to capture Cavendish (Fichtner) hiding out in the mountains. However, they are ambushed by Cavendish and his men and gunned down from high ground, like fish in a barrel. Cavendish brutally cuts out Reid's (Hammer) brother's heart while the latter is still alive and eats it. The rest are left for the vultures. Reid is reluctantly rescued from the jaws of death in the unforgiving Texas desert by Tonto, who calls him a "weak, paleface wetbrain".

Tonto loathes the savage greed of the 'palefaces' for having wiped out his entire tribe. They partner against a common foe, with different methods of meting out justice. Along the way, there are many campfire-quality tales of how the West was won and at what cost and sacrifice. There are moving moments - villages wiped out for pieces of silver. The other 'moving' moments, however, happen at breakneck speed, with thundering locomotives set on a collision course in a satisfying climax. The old theme music fits perfectly in that scene, where the action is timed down to the split second.

The characters in the film read like a rustic country song. Carter plays a bar-room queen with a carved ivory leg. There are brigands who swill rotgut like water. An 'origin tale', the visuals show great attention to detail and Depp's Tonto is, without a doubt, the best thing about this movie. In fact, it is Reid who is Tonto's sidekick here.

Note: You may not like this film if you don't like movies set in the Wild West.
