Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
3/4
A movie about the farm crisis that is sometimes too contrived, but finally very moving as the story of an angry reaction to the squeeze on small farmers. Go to Full Review Cathy Burke United Press International Dec 9, 2017
When the movie shows the brothers picking their dangerous path as much from selfishness and arrogance as from desparation, the film has a gritty, believable realism. Go to Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Sep 28, 2005
3/5

Dissipates much of its energy with plot developments reminiscent of "Badlands" and other movies about celebrity lawbreakers. Go to Full Review James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette Dec 19, 2002

See more Feb 12, 2012 Two brothers lose their Iowa farm, and the older one (Gere) is so tortured by this failure that he burns the farm down and drags his brother along on an aimless run from the law. The story would have been stronger if we were given more of a backstory of what happened between his childhood (a brief glimpse is shown at the beginning) and the foreclosure of their home.
