Absolutely riveting. Can I give it 10 stars? The filming, story line, and dialogue delivered by best-in-the-business acting talent--I watched it twice within 24 hours. It has a message for the times about mindless idolatry of criminals. With compassionate attention paid to the abject poor and lower rungs of society. A women Texas governor in the early 1930s commanding the troops, captured by the amazing actress, Kathy Bates. And aging Texas Marshalls brought back to fight another day for justice--Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson gave Academy Award winning performances. Ethical and practical conflicts raised, thoughtful, and with a message for today. Loved it.
