Critic Reviews

  • Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

    Beck: I need you to make a choice for me. Travis: What choice? Beck: Option A or Option B. Option A: we walk out of here nice and easy, we go back to the airstrip, and then we begin our long journey back to Los Angeles. There'll be no bruises, no broken bones, and no problems.… More
