Goofs
When Leo (Tommy Lee Jones) draws a handgun to shoot at the coyote that took Romeo (Suzie's dog), the handgun he picks up from the paint desk is clearly a P200-series Sig Sauer. In the very next scene when he shoots the gun, however, it is suddenly a 1911-style handgun (He also uses a 1911 for the remainder of the film). See more »

I had high hopes for this movie, they didn't last very long. It's almost interesting when it starts out but it takes a long time to get anywhere. I have a lot of respect for most these actors but I fear some of them are way past their prime. When Tommy Lee Jones walks he looks like he's in terrible pain, I get it, I have joint pain from arthritis to but it's distracting to see on the screen.
The writing is very unrealistic, the characters are so fake. What is Renee Russo doing in this movie? She's too young to be hanging out with these old farts. It's sad with all the talent hired on to do this film they didn't have better material to work with. The writing is just plain bad. Obviously most of these actors just did this for a paycheck, they put their time and went home. There is nothing special about this movie. To be honest, I wouldn't even watch it on broadcast TV it was so disappointing.
