First of all, just because it has a high rating it doesnt mean the movie was good. it means ppl like you (adults?) thought it was good. it wasnt about the violence and sex scenes being too much. it was the fact that it DIDNT GO WITH THE REST OF THE MOVIE. it was the stupidest movie ever this year and the real problem is that it didn`t flow as a movie. as in, it didn`t fit with the movie. the acting was as if they gotten a bunch of amateurs and said here say these lines and look pretty. acquired taste for idiots maybe. worst film ever and all these reviews that make it sound good? shudve listened to the others before i wasted money a

First of all, look at the high percentage of 5 star ratings, as most reviews of this film on here suck. As a Cronrnberg fan, i think its his most accessible film yet. The problem with all these young kids is they are too used to the videogame as babysitter/entertainment, that a story which unfolds languorosly (sp. ?) with violence which seems to erupt and be brutal when it hits, is too slow for them. For adult viewers, its worth seeing for sure. It may be an acquired taste, thats all.

This movie is so bad, it`s funny ...problem is, it wasn`t *meant* to be a comedy. If you`re tempted to see it because of the starring actors, think again (Ed Harris must be hanging his head in shame).

Very slow and boring, occaisonally pierced by the stacco of sex and violent scenes, after which it returns to slow and boring. The end leaves you completely unsatisfied and nothing is wrapped up. There is no character development to speak of, or plot worthy of watching. Basically this movie is a huge waste of time and money.

For all of you who hated this movie I suspect you thought you were going tinto Elizabeth Town because you think orlando Bloom is the second coming of Marlon Brando.... I though this movie was very well crafted and suspenseful from beginning to end... some have problems with the end of the movie but you could write another whole movie on the outcome so he left it to you..... very well acted, not profound, but an intense, well acted western.... WATCH IT, sorry there`s no flying aliens in it for those with no patience...grrrrrr...lazy people make me mad

the first and last scene are like 5 mins long w/ absolutly no talking. it doesn`t explain who the ones in the first scene are very well, but other than that, it`s totally predictable. such a bad movie. not at all what the previews make you think. don`t go see it.

Not as gripping as you would think. Definitely a DVD Rental, don`t know if it`s necessary to go to the theatre to see this one.
