    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.

    Picking the wings off flies

    It resonates, but I felt that there was a nasty continual streak of sadism running through it. OK, smite your enemies. but don't take such delight and glee in torturing them. You can divide the world into those who swat a fly, and those who enjoy picking the legs and wings off one by one. Tommy Lee Jones seems to be in the second group. Levon Helm's cameo as the blind man is brilliant, best thing in the film.
