Did we see the same film?

I had to wonder if I saw the same film as the other commentator as I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, this is an old storyline but I thought the story was credible, the actors did a good job and were believable and the locations were authentic. I see from the forum that it was actually shot in Albuquerque which makes it even better for me as I'm unlikely to be lucky enough to visit the place myself. So to summarise, relatively unknown actors (except one), no big budget special effects, simple storyline and yes it works. Just remember folks, biggest isn't always best, just like this comment, I've said all I want to say but its not ten lines so I've got to fill it out!
