Totally over-hyped!
The acting is fantastic, and the film is nicely shot. However, the storyline is very slow moving, interrupted only by the occasional action scenes and some very strong violence.

Its 1980 and Vietnam vet Llewellyn Moss ( Josh Brolin) is out hunting in the Texan desert when he comes across the scene of a drugs deal gone wrong. There are trucks and bodies everywhere and one of the trucks is loaded to the gills wi...
