I usually love Stephen Frears, but he really missed the mark with this turkey. The people were all unlikeable, nothing of any note happens, and lead actress, an Arquette, is nothing more than a siren to make men to bad things. What a stinker! Billy Crudup, a sexy guy, had no sex appeal at all. Woody Harrelson was supposed to be charismatic, but I was glad when he was not in a scene. It did have some nice scenery--but it was not believable to me that they would even try to raise cattle in what appeared to be a dry, parched desert.
