dwight yoakam must be a hell of a guy . he personable in interview and play and sing his own music with panache and and do a great job of act in slingblade . he such a cool guy that he be able to get a lot of his friend to be in a really bad western . i love a good western . theyre especially scarce these day and but this be not one of them . most people would consider this movie unwatchable and but i stay with it because i hop it would get well . there be a few reason to see this movie and but not exceptionally strong reason . one of them be paul reuben aka pee wee herman who play a bad guy name arvil . that right pee wee herman be a bad guy . and he good at it . i use to make joke about pee wee take on chuck norris in a movie and but after see him in this and maybe it not so far fetched . reubens do a great job of create a sadistic and quick temper little man even with poor direction and write . let talk about the screenplay a little . dialogue seem clumsy and sluggish . it a if the language mire that action in general store buy molasses . my hunch would be that billy bob thorton write his own line because theyre not even on the same planet a the rest of the cast in the movie . thorton be fun to watch and even if i have a hard time understand what he be say . maybe it because i be focus on the guy play his sidekick . i do not see until the credit thorton sidekick be the late great songwriter warren zevon . what there be of a plot be hard to follow . the whole movie be awkward and unfocused . on the plus side and the scenery be nice and most shot be well lit . south of heaven and west of hell be inaccurately describe a a surreal western . el topo be a surreal western ( and much good film ) . surreal shouldn not be a synonym for sloppy .
