bout fukkin time this was released! the main reason i loved this movie is how i connected with it through the small problems like at home & the differences of the social/economic classes to being wanted and hiding out. has a unique climax as well, which persuades more empathy than usual, of course i recommend it. Baraka too Stay gold bitches!
Tom Waits as Buck Merril is the only thing that kept that movie alive...oh and Emilio Esteves & his Mickey Mouse shirts
I agree about the book being better. And... it's been out on DVD for a while now. I was happy about it.
I felt the movie actually paralleled the book, maybe more now since it has all the scenes on DVD though
