Modern day cowboy. Two brothers go on a bank-robbing spree to pay off the debts on their mother's home before the bank repossesses it. The home now sits on oil, so is worth a fortune. The bank cheated her mother (and everyone else in West Texas), so no sympathy for them.
Jeff Bridges is the Texas Ranger or State Policeman assigned to the case.
Robberies totter on the edge of serious violence, but don't topple over until the last one. Older brother is a con and violent, and he ends up killing two people in the bank and Jeff Bridges partner in the chase afterwards. Bridges kills him.
Movie ends with younger brother and Bridges talking, both aware that Bridges knows the younger brother was involved. There's a hint that it will be settled later, and there's also sympathy for younger brother who has given the ranch and the wealth to his children.
Exciting, well-acted, great Texas wasteland scenery, tense. Solid 3 and maybe a 3.5 out of 4 movie.
