Waste of Time

Rating: 1/10 (20 July 2008)

I watched for 1 hour. I wish I knew how to quit the movie earlier. Even Randy Quaid couldn't save it. I wanted to see it because I heard the action was intense. They meant the action was in tents. I knew their preferences were suspect when they hired on to watch sheep. The movie was not realistic. True cowboys jump in the river. They don't take sponge baths. This movie should have been called "Beans and Franks". I do give the characters credit though. It must have been tough getting in the saddle the next morning. Heath Ledger's mumbling dialog was interesting. Did he take the marbles out of his mouth for the kissing scenes? Seriously, just because a movie addresses controversial subject matter doesn't automatically make it good. It was boring and bad. To make sure any personal homophobic bias hasn't crept in. I imagined one of the cowpokes being a pretty female. The movie still failed my test.
