but it sometimes feels arduous, which was kinda the idea

Meh. What's-his-name the screenwriter loves coincidences and simultaneity and The Hand of Fate way too much for my taste, and Jones the director was too reverent.

Fair enough. Are you a fan of Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (which I find is in the same spiritual ballpark as this one)?

Jones the director was too reverent.

There's a lot more pulp in the Peckinpah film. I didn't hate Melquiades Estrada; it just makes the same errors of lots of actor-director projects.

as a movie about a region, it makes the error of being influenced by the regional culture

search: the director's commentary on the DVD
