Billy Bob Thornton's first directorial effort since his award-winning Sling   Blade is a marvelously photographed adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel     about two young Texas ranch hands (Matt Damon and Henry Thomas) who ride to      Mexico to find work in the late 1940s.

Thornton    originally delivered a much longer cut (well over 3 hours) of the film, which  was rejected by the studio, but even at its current length it remains a richly detailed, classical American western. Also starring Ruben Blades, Bruce Dern   and Sam Shepard. Music by Marty Stuart.                                          Billy Bob Thornton---USA---2000---112 mins.
