“What attracted me to this film was the name Robert Duvall , who is almost certainly Americau0026#39;s greatest living character actor . Add to that he also directed WILD HORSES so this looked like a film worth going out of my way to see and while not being a complete waste of time I expected better u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn reply to my fellow IMDb peer Arfdawg I agree the actress playing the lead Texas Ranger is rather dreadful . The actress birth name was Luciana Pedraza and is now known as Luciana Duvall . I guess that answers a few questions doesnu0026#39;t it ? Despite having a few other well known names in the shape of Franco and Hartnett most of the story is told via Pedraza/Duvallu0026#39;s female Ranger and sheu0026#39;s just not a good enough actress to carry the film and gives a very wooden and stilted performance which becomes annoying . On top of that the film moves at a very slow pace which made me think the director was copying wholesale the Coensu0026#39; style from NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN . Unlike that film WILD HORSES is far from compelling and feels like two separate stories , one featuring a crime drama and one featuring a angst ridden family drama stuck together in a rather unsatisfying manner and means weu0026#39;re left with an unsatisfying film”
