I am a big fan of the book but this movie seemed poorly paced, sloppily edited, and incomplete. I've heard that the studio forced Thorton to edit it down to its current state, so it might be that the real version of the film, the version that does the book justice, is out there somewhere. Penelope Cruz is, as usual, a black hole in an otherwise nicely cast movie.

Surprisingly tedious drama that launched my personal Penelope Cruz hate parade (ended with Volver). Weird little bits of potential shine through here and there, but I found myself wishing I could watch "Horses Are Pretty" by IFC's 6-year-old "Christie" instead.

This is okay. The sharp moral character & characters are pretty interesting, the sweeping vistas are stunning yet the loose construction does little to propel the story. The romance is fair, i suppose it's really Matt's not really breathing any life into his character that makes it seem flat. An art western.

Cormac McCarthy's All The Pretty Horses was one of the most influential American books when it came out in 1992 for the 90's, much like Pulp Fiction was for film. The book captured audiences with it's description and gripping story that was familiar McCarthy, but at the same time, seemed to be it's own seperate entity, much like the other books in the Border Trilogy. Truly, a masterpiece to be remembered in American Literature for years. So let's make a movie about it and throw in Matt Damon.

Matt Damon seems terribly miscast in this movie. It moves from plot point to plot point without letting any of the scenes breathe. Crucial bits from the book like the aunt's motivation to protect her daughter are missing and the sheer brutality of the prison are downplayed in this adaptation. Really beautiful scenery and decent direction though.

The whole thing seemed sort of paint by numbers, illustrating all of the descriptions from the book, but carrying none of the subtext or depth. Not a bad movie, but a lot of high expectations based on the source material.
