snore......, what a waste of time and film, occassional glimpses of an "authentic" west made it tolerable, the dialogue a muttered mess, I had to fast forward most of the last third of the movie. Michael Cimino's Gates of Heaven shines next to this muddy mess of a movie. I would have walked out of the theater had I went, as it was, this was the most disappointing over-hyped movie in a long while for me, comparisons to The Unforgiven are hard to understand, perhaps it was all the darkness and low illumination. I was hoping for something along the lines of The Long Riders, sorry, this one missed the mark. Brad Pitt trying to expand his repertoire and add an art film western to his repertoire doesn't cut it. And please, no comparisons to Terence Malick,give me Days of Heaven any day over this moody muddy self indulgent effort.
