A really good film

This film is 2 hours and 15 minutes long, and it's worth every minute.

I usually can't stand flashbacks, but it worked well in this film. Surprised Matthew McConaughey had such a small role in it, however what he did, worked well.

Chris Cooper did really well in the role, and Elizabeth Peña was lovely and also really good. Their romance worked well.

I loved that the film contained Texas history and also perspectives from all sides. Texas is a very fascinating State with it's history and it's people.

The twist at the end was a bit of a surprise, however an interesting one. On the one hand, it can leave room for interpretation and that's always good.

This film has a lot of re-watch value.
