Having heard so many positive things about the book, I was
eagerly anticipating the movie version of ' All the Pretty Horses.' But
from the opening montage of languid closeups, horse eyes and
such, I feared the worst. Thornton's heavy-handed attempts at
artistic profundity quickly became over-wrought and boring.
While starting with promise, the film quickly descended into a
morass of dullness. Half way through, I almost lost the will to live.
The pacing was so slow, the events so un-involving, I couldn't wait
for the end credits to roll.
