Overall, Tommy Lee Jones delivers a great message but the ending falls short of expectations. Great location and setting.

A good movie

I kept hearing good things about this flick and I was really curious to see a movie directed by the great Tommy Lee Jones so I was quite eager to watch it. Eventually, I thought it was pretty good. Above all, the whole cast gave some impressive perfomances and the movie was very well directed. The story was good enough but I can't say I was blown away by the whole thing. It seems they tried to mak... read more

Movie Diary 2013 (186 movies items)

"29.3. Kahden samana päivänä nähdyn mestariteoksen vuoksi tämä jäi ehkä hieman niiden varjoon, vaikka tuskin tälle tämän erityisempää arvostusta olisi muutenkaan siunaantunut. Kiinnostava kokonaisuus kieltämättä, helppoihin ratkaisuihin ei alistuta ja hahmojen teot tuntuvat sopivan ristiriitaisilta. Lienee oikeastaan irrelevanttia arvuutella Tommy Lee Jonesin hahmon toimien oikeutta - loppujen lopuksi häntä tuntuu ennen kaikkea ajavan henkilökohtainen pakko, ei niinkään kost"

"11.7, TV Tommy Lee Jones tekee hienoa työtä sekä kameran edessä että takana. Mies vetää jälleen kerran symmpisroolin, tällä kertaa esittäen miestä, joka lähtee hautaamaan vahingossa ammuttua meksikaanoystäväänsä Yhdysvaltojen puolelta Meksikoon tämän kotikylään. Mukaansa Tommyn esittämä jätkä ottaa ystävänsä ampuneen miehen. Elokuva ottaa näppärällä tavalla kantaa maahanmuuttoasiaan kertomalla sanottavansa yksittäisten henkilöhahmojen kautta, eikä edes pyri l"

"Mainio moderni länkkäri joka sijoittuu Meksikon ja USA:n rajalle. Laiton maahanmuutto -teemasta ei erityisesti edes yritetä sanoa mitään yleispätevää vaan käsiteltäväksi nostetaan parin ihmisen henkilökohtainen suhtautuminen elokuvan nimihenkilön kuolemaan ja siihen liittyvä surutyö. Alkupuolella vähän kikkaillaan hyppimällä aikajanalla kun sitten loppupuolella taas siirrytään perinteisempään kerrontaan. Ihan hyvin toimii tämäkin ratkaisu."

A good movie

“I kept hearing good things about this flick and I was really curious to see a movie directed by the great Tommy Lee Jones so I was quite eager to watch it. Eventually, I thought it was pretty good. Above all, the whole cast gave some impressive perfomances and the movie was very well directed. The story was good enough but I can't say I was blown away by the whole thing. It seems they tried to make it all sound very deep and thoughtfull but eventually, I didn't touch me that much. Still, it is a good flick and it is definitely worth a look.” read more
