From the beginning this movie is obviously and interestingly dark. The drunken worthless parents leave their thirteen year old daughter alone to fend for her self with barely a word before they are gone.
She hits the road to experience the world and to apparently make some sense of it all (life).
At first it was interesting. She by happenstance gets a ride from a young temperamental former now partially gimp rodeo rider cowboy that appears to be a bit of a hero.
Then she hooks up with a gal who appears to be absent of any morals at all, et al, to wind up (it's a small world) connected with the cowboy again. The cowboy disgruntled, urinates in the bosses drink. Okay, not exactly a tough guy hero.. He he was such a decent tough guy character as the film portrays why wouldn't he just say "Take this job and shove it!" and walk out the door? He appeared to be some sort of slave by choice. Kind of liked the "hero" guy, but obviously now he isn't, more of a scumbag. What is the point?
More misdirected non-sense and then we come to the scene where the girl almost gets molested (which happen to be by their own doing anyhow) in the pool hall bathroom. The "cowboy" really roughs the would be molester up by repeatedly slamming a toilet stall door on his head. Okay understood, he is a "molester" after all. But then in a fit of unbridled rage gets the strength of Hercules to rip a 50lbs+ sink off the wall and crashes it flat on the floor guys head. Hey it's just a movie, but I'd think you if actually did such a thing you'd actually crush someones head into a broken bloody pulp. What is the point?
I actually make this movie sound more interesting then it is. I completely gave up on this movie at about the halfway point and walked out. Boring, uncouth, distasteful, of a pointless and confused movie.
I read two other reviews here. One that even knocks others for making negative reviews (isn't that against the rules?). Unlike the movie's cowboy, this cowboy is tough enough to stand up against the likes of those and call this movie bad for what it is. To each his own too. You can sit there all day tell me the "emperor's new clothes" are wonderful and I'll factually tell you in your face he's plumb naked (and this movie is horrible) buddy!
