A Great Movie, with one plot line flaw


I was going to rate it a 6, but gave it a 7 because I believe the other reviewers are correct. It was full of early justice, which could be overpowered by a mob, greed, love, and we have America. We fight for what we want, putting our wants first. And sometimes lack the patience for justice, or disagree totally with the decision of justice. The only thing I found weak was the premise of wanting Arizona. Talk about the expense for federal services, lol. The only thing I found weak was the premise of wanting Arizona.

I watch these movies and I wonder how America survived. But what is timeless is a need to accept the whole picture, what we do to get what we want. It's easy to embrace the rosy picture, but without the details it's false hope.

If we can save humanity, we become the caretakers of the world
