Movie Haiku:Life in the Nebraska Territories right before the Civil War? Nasty, brutish & short. Jones casts himself as the drifter with the heart of gold--a twinkly Leprechaun who knows how to use his gun but prefers to dance jigs. Swank fills the screen as a righteous spinster, but when she is not there to keep him in check, Jones & his numerous one-scene guest stars are adrift.
