I really enjoyed this gritty little tale of two bank robbers in West Texas. It was slow but well-developed with tons of character development. The characters were real and the "locals" ever real-er. There's a lot of local color and and some laughs at their customs and behavior. I particularly liked the fact that this film's social engineering was focused on Native Americans in the form of Bridges' deputy Ranger, Gil Birmingham. Bridges relentless barrage of racial teases seemed endless while Birmingham's character was most tolerant of his superiors asininity.

When I first became aware of Chris Pine I thought "no big deal" but I know believe he is going to be "a big deal". His agent is certainly trying to spread his roles around and he seems to handle them deftly for his age and experience. Ben Foster proved again that he is headed to being one of the country's Master Character Actor's as he always loses himself in the role. I didn't find Bridges permanent cowboy accent as objectionable here--it was a Texas Western afterall.

This is pretty much a big screen film even though it's not necessarily big screen action. The dusty, dry, wide-open spaces of West Texas will give you a thirst.

Yep, I'd hit the walk in on this one.
