Not Quite there

Rating: 4/10 (7 February 2008)

I went to see this movie with great expectations. for the first 3/4 of the show it was just great, however the death of the money finder, to me the central hero, seemed to leave everything up in the air. You don't see him getting killed, you don't even actually see him dead. From here on it seemed the movie makers/the story tellers really did not know how to put the finish on the screen. Tommy appeared to be at a loss throughout the show. It really needed to have Tommy doing his Marshalls thing. The finish. the finale left every at a loss. I think the is a moral message here about the total futility of the ongoing carnage of death, murder and even the Gun Laws come into play. The photography is just terrific, the desert shots are magnificent. However the picture because of it's "message lost" syndrome is totally disappointing. just an update since this movie won the awards. It still LACKS depth...!!!
