Well, unless you are a liberal, or you are a conservative with your head firmly up your keester, you will likely despise this move as much as I do, along with the left wing lunatic, Tommy (I think I'm a cowboy) Jones. As usual, Jones makes plenty of nasty comments about border patrol officers the same way he did in one of the Men In Black pictures, totally out of place in a comedy by the way. He obviously joins democrats in embracing those who have zero respect for the US border. If Jones and the effeminate Barry Pepper think that Mexico is so fabulous, full of the best the world has to offer, why not move? I know that IMDB is full of left wing lunatics, likely the staff shares Jone's left wing politics, but maybe even left wing fools can grasp the fact that no nation without a border has ever existed, it never will. There is NO utopia, it isn't possible. The United States Constitution applies ONLY to CITIZENS of the United States of America and those who have immigrated legally have the permission of the government to conduct business in the USA or even apply for citizenship. Why is it only Mexicans are allowed to flaunt law? Why not Africans? How about Israelis? No? I didn't think so. This movie is about democrat voter roles, the democrats care nothing for the USA, they simply want power, uninterrupted power. And millions of illegal aliens can give them this power and that is why they are for open borders, no other reason. The Democrat party, party of slavery, Jim Crow, Plessy VS Ferguson/separate but equal, segregation etc etc etc. The high and mighty democrats have a history of racism, while Republicans have always stood for freedom AND the law. If you don't allow this post, you're an idiot.

A story about the best and worst of human nature. One of my favorite things about this movie is that Pete and Mel live in a world where a man's horse and his gun are integral to his life and livelihood - this kind of man is so often misunderstood by those with an urban background. But there is also the cautionary aspect of the story, where firearm use is both the cause of and the "solution" to Pete's unhinged and very human grief. His journey with Norton to Mexico is an odyssey that includes episodes of pathos, payback, hubris and humility, not to mention handy tips on amateur embalming. Just about every character is a casualty in some sense, but I identified with Pete all the way through. The cast is superb - I will not single out any one in particular, for how could I choose? But the scene where the sheriff and the waitress discuss Viagra is priceless. Great script and direction - I'll keep an eye out for future Tommy Lee Jones directing projects.

This movie was pretty disappointing on every level. I love a good western, a good mystery and/or an interesting exploration of moral questions, but this movie was none of those things. Lots could be said about the film's stereotypes, its plodding pace, its rambling storyline, and other flaws.My #1 criticism, though, is that I couldn't understand a word Tommy Lee Jones said (or mumbled). He won Best Actor at Cannes, but I think he should have made the Guinness Book of World Records for Most Gruff Gruffness. I kept wishing that the subtitles they used for Spanish dialogue in this film would keep running when he was speaking.I'm not angry and don't entirely regret watching it, but I would not recommend it to a friend.

i rented this movie for a good night in. and was it a good night in? NO THE MOVIE IS A DISASTOR!!! this film from start to finish is bland boring and there isn't a plot really its just about a fella who shot another fella and the fella who has the blame is dragged around for the whole film.this film is like a project gone wrong. when i first rented it i was expecting a great modern day western with good action or drama to it. instead i got a bad film. watching barney is more electrifying than this!!! the film is just awful!! i don't mean to be ignorant but how did they not see how bad this film actually is when they were making it. it is so so dull and dragged out!!! it could of been a lot a lot a lot better if they added a load of violence and chasing but even at that i don't think anything could of helped this film!
