I guess I'm the only one that thinks it's nothing but Hollywood trash then.
The hero of the movie is a man who constantly tells how good he is since his deceased wife changed him so much, so much so that it actually gets sickening, he won't drink alcohol, won't touch another woman, yada, yada, yada.
But he thinks nothing of leaving his two pre-teen children alone to run a pig-farm, that he can't run himself, in order to murder two men for money. Then, after one of his accomplices is killed for his part in a felony, he murders several more people who did nothing to him or his friend. Exactly what is the message that this movie delivers to the audience? How is he a Hero?
I guess I see the movie differently than everyone esle. The way all the other characters in the movie are portrayed as cowards, or psychos, and nothing like our poor protagonist, that has even forgotten how to ride a horse, in a time when everyone had to know how to ride a horse. It looks to me like typical liberal arts garbage. He is justified in anything he does because he's a movie star. I don't buy it in the movies and I don't buy it in real life.
