After my third viewing it finally made sense. But be prepared to completely change your perception of the main characters.

It IS about old men, but easy to miss if you just follow the main story line, which is about some bad guys chasing a guy who found some money that was left from a aborted drug deal in the desert of Texas. Lots of dogs are in the movie too, mean ones. One of the three main characters, Tommy Lee Jones wants to retire from law enforcement because of how immoral criminals have become. He feels out-done by them.

I think it’s worth seeing again. No way to predict the ending when you see it the first time. But all the encounters with old men will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, almost wanting to shout at the screen.

Minimal dialogue and NO musical score makes for lots of tension. I am stuck the day after with lots of haunting images and scenes.
