Good, but overrated

Rating: 5/10 (31 July 2009)

The movie was good, but I wouldn't call it great. The pace was a little bit on the slow side but overall wasn't bad. Enough suspense to keep it going and keep interest and had a good story line. The ending was really surprising (and lame) in how it just ended in an Ol' West shootout at a motel and the bad guy in the end got away. A kind of slow pace movie with an slap you in your face ending, wasn't really good. The movie was moving along pretty well, then 'bang, bang', the guy is dead and the man is gone. Wasn't mad that Moss got killed, it does add a different taste for a movie, (same reason on why I loved the Vanishing) I just hated how it happened, wasn't smooth on getting to that point. We are moving along, then he is dead, in the most boring way possible. It wasn't like The Vanishing in how the guy died, he died by...surprise, getting shot in broad daylight. Then the movie had about 15 minutes of crap that wasn't really necessary. The man dies, the bad guy gets the money, kills the wife, and get away. All that other crap with Tommy Lee Jones should have been left out. Great acting and story line made this movie good. This movie is far from great though. Terrible ending(the ending always makes the movie), it is like the directors wanted the man dead, then they realized that they still have some time left so they added some other crap. Also, nothing is really nothing great about this movie. I put it on about the same level as The Fugative. Worth watching, will watch again if I see it on TV or if I am on an date, but overall, nothing really special. 7 out of 10, should be a 6 because of the ending, but it is still passable.
