Boring
I just wanted to get my 1 star recorded as payback to this movie for wasting my time, although I did start doing other things halfway through. The only positive thing I can say is that the actor portraying Blevins, the third wheel, did a fine job. When he wasn't onscreen I was wondering what he was up to and wishing I could be spending my time with him, instead of the other two dullards we are unfortunately stuck with. Penelope Cruz adds zero to the movie. Don't know if it's due to editing or acting and don't really care. Can you tell i'm disgusted? If you're a movie fan or a western fan you should be too.

First of the trilogy
This book shows McCArthy at his descriptive best- his writing is almost lyrical. A beautifully written tale of modern cowboy life, he knows what he is writing about as if he did it all himself. You must read this novel as the first part of the trilogy of this modern western style- but don't think "cowboys" as in the old Zane Gray days! These are all together other.

The necessary leap from the innocence to experience!
A young boy will live in own flesh, an experience `s lesson, when his mother decides to sell their Ranch in Texas, 1949. That personal decision will lead him to make a decisive choice that will mark his life forever.

Matt Damon plays a convincing role supported on a wide frequency of expressive hues which consolidate him as one of the best gifted actors of his generation. Penelope Cruz possesses an enigmatic and alluring sex appeal which fits perfectly for her demanding role.

And if you consider the admirable effort directorial of Billy Bob Thornton with those arresting landscapes with opened objectives who remind us John Ford's famous films you will make a wise choice at the moment to acquire it.

Tense and dramatic story without narrative ornaments or melodramatic excesses.

Recommended without reserves.
