The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada - Review
Produced, directed and starred by Tommy Lee Jones… a triple threat he is not on this one.
I thought that the storyline was fantastic, filled with raw emotions and scenes that would speak to even the toughest cynic.
I’m not sure that I can put my finger on why I don’t feel that this movie is done as well as it could be… possibly it’s that it’s got that country/western feel that I don’t tend to lean towards, or it’s the slowness of the story, or maybe it’s just that it felt too plain. This could have been a blockbuster… not that all blockbusters are deserving of praise, but it just needed something more.
However the story does drag you in… for that alone I’ll give this movie 5 “border crossings” out of 10.
