Yes, this movie is long, probably 10 minutes too long, but I was won over by the performances from Cate Blanchette, and the young girl who plays her younger daughter, Dot.
I was expecting the worse, but what unfolded was actually interesting enough to keep me interested in how it would end up. I did think the weak spot was Tommy Lee Jones, who doesn't bring much to the table (I thought it was almost sleepwalking through his role).
Ron Howard does humor well, decent with drama, and those parts work, what he isn't all that great at are the action scenes, the shootouts and gunplay.
Keep your expectations low, and you might come to like this film.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
