    Simply brilliant

    This slow paced movie is instantly engaging. The texan/ mexican locations are beautifully captured and the direction allows the actors to breathe. The result is a visually beautiful, engaging drama that is often witty and keeps you fully intrigued throughout its duration. A masterclass in all things film.

Online DVD rentals hadn't made much impact at the time - the business was still in its infancy. It wasn't until the... Read more
