a others have comment and i check this out after siskel and ebert list this a one of their top 10 movie of the year . what a gift . i then go out to buy it and just so that i could loan it out . best quote . dwight yoakum stop his truck when he realize that someone ( cage ) be on top of his cab . when cage peer down and he apologize . i be sorry if i scar you . yoakum thrust his pistol in cage face with do this look like i be scar . great bit of humor after an exciting ( and temporary ) escape . there really be a sense of fun to this . the constant sighting of the welcome to red rock sign elicit a groan and a smile head shake . the music create a hunting and eerie quality to the film reminiscent of twin peak . unlike twin peak and though and it doesn not spoil thing by go too far into the outlandish and need to top itself . i admit watch the credit 15 20 time . you see and they have yoakum thousand mile from nowhere ( perfectly choose ) playing a a freight train curve around down to the desert floor . . with snow capped mountain in the distance . this be incredible and fluid framing . further and i have never see a good unification of sight and sound on film . also and it totally fit the story .
