Look, I am not going to rant on the quality of the script or the film. Others have done that already.
What I do have a beef with is the terrible way in which the audio engineer mixed this project. Some of the worst Foley, recycled sfx and most erratic levels I have ever heard in a movie were in this picture. There is a scene in a bar where Willie Nelson's dialog is overshadowed by the background music! FOR SHAME, ENGINEER. FOR SHAME. You broke the cardinal rule of mixing audio! Not that repaired audio would have made it much better, but the fact of the matter is, this was an embarrassment. Willie Nelson put apparently quite a bit behind this movie in effort and money, and I can't imagine producing something with this slip-shod of an effort behind it. I don't care how much I were paid. A free rework of the result is well deserved. Enough said.
