I'm really not sure why everyone likes this movie so much. Here are my criticisms: 1) very preachy, 2) no character depth, 3) many cliches- the restaurant owner, the border patrolman, the cops, etc. 4) boring- the ride through the I'm really not sure why everyone likes this movie so much. Here are my criticisms: 1) very preachy, 2) no character depth, 3) many cliches- the restaurant owner, the border patrolman, the cops, etc. 4) boring- the ride through the desert lasted forever, and 5) there were some weird inconsistencies- the timing of the shooting from the 2 different perspectives was way off. I also couldn't help feeling like they were trying to copy the vibe of Kill Bill 2.… Expand

Worst movie that I have seen in quite some time. A terrible waste of good actors. Avoid!

Two hours that seem like four, consistently pedestrian writing, and a complete deficit of morality make this not only one of the worst films I have ever seen (and I've seen more than a few), but a dangerous one. The only thing saving it Two hours that seem like four, consistently pedestrian writing, and a complete deficit of morality make this not only one of the worst films I have ever seen (and I've seen more than a few), but a dangerous one. The only thing saving it from a flat-out zero is the great acting by everyone involved. What a waste. Even Sam Peckenpah would be ashamed.… Expand

A horrible torture-fest in which the captive falls in love with his sadistic captor (as usual).

This is an offensively inept, amateur film with its heart in the right place.

So many casual movie-goers like submediocre films like this because they're the kind of movies they'd direct themselves if they were into movies to any substantial degree, which they're not. This movie repeatedly left me dumbfounded and irate with its boundless inanity, its preadolescent writing, its loathsome attempts at humor. Despite having made this crater of a film, Tommy Lee Jones is and will continue to be a great actor and a fascinating man; this movie's spectacular awfulness falls several feet short of unforgivable.… Expand

An ugly, dirty movie. That has no purpose. It drags on and on, the movie was over 2 hours long and its about nothing! The movie was predictable, and worse of all boring!!
