88You can see how this movie could have been jacked up into a one-level action picture, but what makes it special is how Thornton modulates the material.
-
80A perfectly coherent, handsomely rendered couple of hours, animated in particular by Damon's good performance -- shrewd, innocent, angry, wistful and, above all, likable.
-
60The movie's greatest liability is the familiarity of the material, much parodied since the glory days of John Ford. Unfortunately, Thornton's love for its iconography doesn't quite bring it to life.
-
33McCarthy's rawhide has become movie Naugahyde, a substance unknown in literature or in nature.
