Who out there is a "Pine Nut"? I know I am! Well in this movie he plays a down on his luck, country bumpkin looser on the fast track to nowhere, or is he? Here is the skinny. Two poor boys from West Texas go on a bank robbing spree. They need the money to save their family ranch, which is the twist at the end. Hot on their trail is Old Man Bridges, the soon to be retired TX Marshall. There is action, crime, mystery, chase, and blood all to end up with a near perfect ending. This movie flew under the radar and had a pretty disastrous opening weekend but the masses have smartened up on this one. With a true "No Country For Old Men" feel to it, this film stayed strong with its direction and had an outstanding story. Sure there were a few things that are somewhat cliche, but I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. The acting was amazing and I will be surprised if there are no awards won. Ben Foster joins the ranks (if he hadn't already) of the elite as he controlled the scenes along with Chris Pine. This is a sure winner movie and I suggest you run and see it fast!
FYI: Although the movie is based in West Texas, hardly any of it was shot there. Take that stupid Texas!
