Title: Plenty of tension but I just didn't care
Product review: Directed by Billy Bob Thorton, this is the story of two young Texans, played by Matt Damon and Henry Thomas, who, in 1949, cross the Mexican border on horseback in search of adventure. However, even though the plot is one of action, the film moved at a snail's pace, with too much dialogue and too many slow lingering shots of the Mexican landscape. Matt Damon's clothes were much too clean and well pressed for him to look like a real cowboy and his romance with the rancher's daughter never seemed believable. With the exception of Lucas Black, who plays a young troublemaker, the acting wasn't good enough to evoke much sympathy for the characters as they got in more and more trouble, and I found myself looking at my watch a lot just waiting for the video to end. There was plenty of tension but I just didn't care.
