    WOW - saw it last night and that's the best movie I've seen in a long time. Very, very solid.

    Like I usually do after seeing a good movie, I checked out the IMDB trivia page on the movie this morning, where I found THIS interesting nugget. Explains a lot about Woody....

    In the novel (but not in the movie), Sheriff Bell says of the dope-dealers, "Here a while back in San Antonio they shot and killed a federal judge." McCarthy set the story in 1980. In 1979, in San Antonio, Federal Judge John Howland Wood was shot and killed by rifle fire by a Texas free-lance contract killer named Charles Harrelson. Actor Woody Harrelson (Carson Wells in the movie) is his son.

    Just watched this movie, very good movie. The ending of course wasn't what I was expecting, but could very well be real life, so can't complain about the ending.

    I mean seriously, why does the bad guy always have to get caught.

    great movie - I finally saw it last week. I love it when a movie does the book justice.

    when I first read the book I didn't like the ending - til I thought about it a little and decided it really was a perfect way to end the story.

    I just don't care for movies that when they end you just know there is going to be a sequel.
