August 17, 2007I liked the scenes when they are sent to a harsh Mexican prison. The romantic storyline didn't interest me too much.

October 23, 2008Not 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

June 22, 2009Quite 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

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

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
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
