All the Pretty Horses - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Its tough to recommend this film because its almost butchered by a agonizing slow start and some fool notion that dark,and by that I mean light wise,not subject,is some sort of artsy fartsy coolness.Stick to acting Billy Bob Thornton,you SUCK as a director and thats the reason I took 1 and 1/2 stars off and almost turned this movie off.But just when Penélope Cruz turned up,so did the movie.Based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy,this 2000 film release that runs 116 minutes,is a hell of a ride !!! Set in 1949 West Texas and cattle range land Mexico,its a story of coming of age,adventure,hard work,love lost and won,friendship,hard time,justice,revenge and redemption,WHEW !!! There are some good actor especially by Matt Damon as,John Grady Cole ,who got a lifetime in a few months of living.Must see for the those who like outdoors sweeping life stories and have the stomach to sit through a bad directed fin because of a great story and acting to go with it.The trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

Two Texas cowboys head to Mexico in search of work, but soon find themselves in trouble with the law after one of them falls in love with a wealthy rancher's daughter
