I certainly was not expecting such a great film! The story starts out almost like an Afternoon Special that is particularly well acted, but then it slowly ramps up to a hell of a tale of two country boys turned thieves running from the law and running into other robbers who take advantage of them. And mixed in with all of the action is some really fantastic dialogue about 19th century dime novels, Shakespeare, and the Bible. It is a rarity when I will watch a film more than once, but I will see this one again with my wife who, from Alaska, has fallen in love with the Deep South. The accents are perfect, by the way--something Hollywood rarely gets right.
