I know what your thinking.  Conrad watches way too many movies, and who is he to give this cast anything less than an A.  You are right, i watch way too many movies.  I only blog about those i feel like bogging about.  This was one of those films. 

I will say that this has the makings of being an incredibly good film.  Great cast.  Great acting even.  It has the drug deal gone bad elements with bad guys chasing the lost cash.  It also has an authentic West Texas feel.

But the story line shifts somewhat, and we don't remain sympathetic to who we think the main character of the story is.  I am getting all used to liking Josh Brolin, and poof, he is no longer the lead.  And quite honestly, a little too much is left to the audiences imagination to follow the plot accurately.  If you see the movie, you will know what I mean. 

The acting, and cinematography is top notch. But the story does not leave the audience with a good feeling.  As a matter of fact, when the movie ends, you will question what really happened.  How can they end a movie like that?
