Vanity project....needs editing!
7 January 2009
I saw this with 2 friends in the theatre, and we were all disappointed. One cliché after another, terrible dialogue, too long. Definitely a vanity project for Harris. I stayed to the very end to see who was singing the song for closing credits (Tom Petty) and then I hear another song with a familiar voice - it's Ed Harris! I knew it was him before I saw the credits! He can't sing. If that isn't a sure sign of a VP I don't know what is.

Terrible dialogue "I've known you a long time...as long as you've known me..." was actually repeated twice!

There was one good line, after a good "shoot 'em up" Everett says something like "that happened fast" to which Virgil replies, "that's cause everybody could shoot."

I agree with most of the other comments- it kind of went off the rails when Zellweger came into the picture.

Might be okay at home on DVD. 3:10 to Yuma was better.
