Entertainment Reviews:
Lacks an essential sense of purpose.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Feels at once too slow and yet oddly truncated.
Miami Herald
Rating: B --
What is on screen is impressive, even with the sense of something missing.

...[An] indisputably great component is Lucas Black, who is thoroughly authentic...
USA Today
Lovely but disengaging, mysterious but uninvolving, physical but strangely remote.
Toronto Star
Rating: 4/4 --
Working from Ted Tally's casually artful script, director Billy Bob Thornton guides Matt Damon, Henry Thomas and Penelope Cruz to their most impressive performances in a major movie yet.
Detroit News
Rating: C --
The movie that resulted from the studio's demand for cuts ... is a big-screen Cliff's Notes for the novel.

Product Description:
Billy Bob Thornton's ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is about John Grady Cole (Matt Damon), a young rancher growing up just after WWII. After his mother sells the family ranch, John convinces his best friend, Lacey Rawlins (Henry Thomas), to accompany him to Mexico, where ranching is still a big part of life. Along the way they meet Jimmy Blevins (Lucas Black), a winningly enthusiastic boy with a volatile nature. Eventually, John and Lacey end up on a huge ranch south of the border, where John falls for the wealthy rancher's daughter (Penélope Cruz). This leads to deadly trouble for the two young men, but John won't be dissuaded from pursuing his new love. Thornton has made a credible modern Western with this film, which gets strong performances from Damon, Cruz, Thomas, and, in a star-making turn, Black as the fiery Blevins. ALL THE PRETTY HORSES is at its best when focusing on the dusty details of the ranchers' hard existence. Barry Markowitz's cinematography and Ted Tally's script (based on Cormac McCarthy's much-loved novel) capture a sweet and melancholy flavor in depicting a way of life that seemed long since lost even while a hardy few were still living it.
