You can't fault Billy Bob Thornton's second directorial piece when it comes to effort. Oozing period atmosphere and boasting a slew of starkly beautiful vistas, All The Pretty Horses works long and hard to communicate a sense of the time, the people and the land they live in. There are laughs and action scattered in among the high drama and romance, all of it well played by its clean-cut young leads (especially Damon). So what if it's all a bit similar to The Hi-Lo Country, or that the music is too intrusive and the whole thing veers too close towards the glossy side to be genuinely affecting? Yet despite all this, All The Pretty Horses should still be a fairly good movie.
