Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 4/4 (Great)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 3/4 (Good)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 4/4 (Great)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). It has its moments. When its about Joe and Rico's relationship, it's pretty good. Most of the Naive Texan stuff is not particularly interesting. And I found the many dream/memory/fantasy sequences to be quite dull, and a lazy way to establish characters.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.8/4 (Good)
