    Surprised how good

    I'd read the book, which I loved. But knowing it was an independent film without an A-list star, I went in wondering if it could wow me. Wow! It's very good. Based on what's in the book, it could've gone with some really gratuitous nudity & sex, but instead got the point across tastefully. Friends who'v been around the oilfields say even the salty language in the beginning is tame compared to the real deal. Caveat: I'm an ordinary guy who often doesn't go with what the highbrow critics think. You be the judge.

    Good character piece

    As a resident of Texas, it's great to see Texas on the big screen in scope 2:35 aspect ratio. Loved the use of music and intercutting, and especially liked the ending. I would have preferred fuller colors as opposed to the dried out look. But not even that could take away from the raw majesty of the Texas landscape.

    Beautiful

    Not too many independent films can be described as epic, but that is exactly what this film is! From start to finish the cinematography delivers beautifully shot scenes from a landscape that isn't always considered pretty -- West Texas!

    Nice try!

    This movie had most things going for it: A great novel, fantastic scenery, skilled photography and a top notch score. Unfortunately the script, acting and direction is somewhat below par. Not by much, but more than enough to give this movie a TV-movie feel. Overacting, overexplanation, and trying too hard.

    Definately watchable, but kept me thinking what this could have been in the right hands...
