Second thoughts on re-watch

Rating: 5/10 (14 July 2015)

Two brothers flee for the border after robbing a bank and slaughtering a bunch of cops, but their only way through is by hijacking a family of doubting christians, and across the border a worse fate lies in store.
Real sloppy comedy horror, where the laughs are fairly thin. Lots of good elements, but they don't come together, and you can tell this was an opportunity grasped by film-makers who still didn't know what they were about.
It's fun to see so many good actors, but the characters aren't up to their talent, and Clooney is way too clean cut. The director doesn't have the skill of the screenwriter, and the screenwriter seemed more interested in getting his big face on film.
Amusing gore, but the comedy beats are off and the pace drags. Music was surprisingly tame too.
Overall, a great title with nice ideas, but it doesn't work.
