MR has a compelling story line and fine acting, through probably 2/3rds of it. Then...the Sean Penn character goes over the top, and those two HORRIBLE "acting" brothers (the goons) actually get paragraphs of lines to speak! Bacon is competent but somehow he doesn't have the gravitas to stand up to Penn. Surprisingly, Roberts does the finest job of acting---too bad he directed.
The climactic scene in the bar was so overly long and so inexpertly directed and edited that all manner of menace was absent, likewise its coda in the river.
But PUHLEEEEZE don't equate it with The English Patient. I'm still waiting to hear what the hell the Indian fellow with the rock star hair had to do with anything (except provide beefcake, that is).
