From their earlier movies, these are two fine actors. I'll blame the writing and Directing, but this felt like a well made summer stock college movie.
McCarthy can't pull off the rugged drifter/lover part. And Dillons bad boyness was so much better in the Outsiders. The whole movie felt cheesy.
The very last scene made me laugh. He jumps off the train, thus choosing her, and they both smiled at each other. But then she drove what seemed like 3/4 of a mile to go get him. How did they see each others smile from that far?
And Matt's death scene was not climatic at all. From the gunshots to his chest and bloody face, I expected more moaning and agony.
I asked myself if these two really loved the script or just wanted an acting gig.
