    Beautifully filmed with attention paid to detail as Billy Bob Thornton does so well. Although Damon and Cruz are two handsome people, their relationship seemed a bit weak.

    All the Pretty horses was extremely moving, with a very well written script. I cry every time i watch it. I thought it was definately Matt Damon's best role ever and Billy Bob Thorton is a genius. And the Movie's score made it even better!

    The first 15 minutes has great momentum like the best of Peckinpah. But, as story progresses, Damon proves a limited actor and the story keeps lurching forward without examining any of the situations or emotions we encounter along the way. When it's over, we kinda feel "Huh"? The film forgets to accentuate the several climaxes. Still, handsome filmmaking in the classical sense with many vivid details and compelling moments. … Expand

    I read a lot of bad reviews but rented it anyway. I was VERY PLEASED!! It was a great example of story telling. My husband even loved it and he hates sappy girl stuff. I enjoyed it and am glad I didn't listen to all of the negative comments. I found it very refreshing. Billy Bob did a great JOB!

    A botched effort. Not necessarily bad, but hardly compelling either.

    You 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.

    Thornton, directing his first film since the minimalist "Sling Blade" (1996), has a much better grip on the material when he's focused on the scruffy desert landscape and the adventures of the two Texans.
