I liked the scenes when they are sent to a harsh Mexican prison. The romantic storyline didn't interest me too much.

Not really a western but a way of life. This is a graet flix, Matt plays an excellent part, not sure why I missed it when it was in the theathers. Worth adding to your collection

Damon gives a good, understated performance. But maybe he is edgier as a bad boy. There is no spark between Damon and Cruz. This movie does not do justice to Cormac McCarthy's excellent novel. Director Billy Bob Thornton's take is just too simple.

Quite possibly one of the worst films I have ever seen. And that's saying something! I couldn't even watch it all. Dear Billy Bob Thornton, you suck as a director. I think Sling Blade was swell though. Love, Aimee
Critic Reviews
A boy's adventure story that has mistaken itself for an epic, and it rattles around in its own ambitions like a child's head in a 10-gallon hat. full review
This is the kind of movie that's best to see on a big screen, where the size of the sky and the colors of the land can do their work. full review
