When it focuses on the job of these 2 men and the emotional trauma caused by it, I thought it was a compelling and thought-provoking film and I loved the first hour to death. Then it got more into the brotherly love with the 2 characters and how they go off the deep end and I wasn't as interested. It doesn't fall apart, but I thought the second hour was incredibly weak when compared to the first. The acting by Foster and Harrelson is superb, though. They carry the film on their shoulders well. That first hour is great enough that I'm still giving this a solid recommendation. You might like the second part more than me, but I like my movies more emotional than others do as long as it is handled well, which it was in this film.
