Goofs:
Continuity: When Danny is talking to Maddy (towards the end of the scene at the back of her house), she appears to be wearing a jacket when shot from the front and a vest top when shot from behind. more
Quotes:
Wes Benteen: People want to back a winner. They need to feel a part of something bigger than they are. They used to advertise the quality of a product - - tastes great, whitens your teeth, shaves close, rides like a dream - - Now what do they push? America's number one soft drink. Best-selling mid-sized utility vehicle. It isn't "buy the product." It's "Join the club." You make people feel part of a winner, they'll follow you anywhere. more

Nice try..., 11 February 2006
7/10

From the so elegant titles of the beginning to the very end with that song of Steve Earle, everything it's been well cared in this story about political intrigues, corruption, mistreatment of the immigrants, and critic of the system. The cast is just superb (in fact it is the strong point of "S. City"), and Chris Cooper looks great playing that drip Governor that's just a puppet in the hands of his father's rich friends (does it sound familiar to any of you, guys??).

John Sayles had all the necessary ingredients to create a superb movie, but there's something wrong: maybe that there's not a specific target, maybe the so linear narration, maybe the excessive length... There's a very thin line that separates great movies from ordinary movies, and "Silver city" does not trespass it in any moment. Anyway, it is a good try, and it's good to have some quality stuff from Hollywood.

*My rate: 6.5/10
