A traditional Western set in modern days
Added 9/14/2009
Extreme Prejudice starts with a quick draw contest and follows traditional Western themes for the rest of the movie. Nick Nolte and the rest of the cast are exceptional, but they're hampered by an uneven script. Rip Torn does an especially good job. Some of the dialogue is pretty pedestrian, and the plot is predictable. The climax is reminiscent of The Wild Bunch - The Original Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition), but without the creative staging and photography. Despite these weaknesses, I enjoyed this 1987 film and it holds up very well. In fact, it was ahead of its time in revealing some of the issues around drug trafficking across the border.

Great 1911 action
Added 9/12/2009
What can I say about Nick Nolte! He has had some good movies and some not so good movies. This one is a little hokey in parts, but the 1911 action is really good. Nick was briefed on the Texas rangers and how they operated in the good old days by a former Texas Ranger H. Joaquin Jackson. You can tell he liked the part and his gun handling is authentic. Nick is somwhat of a gun nut, an experienced shooter, and it really shows. The plot won't blow you away, but if you are a fan of the 1911 you will enjoy this movie.

a classic which includes the real thing: Real Texas Rangers......
a bit predictable; It was great to see Matt Damon at such a young age.

9.98 Pissed away
Added 3/22/2009
9.98 Pissed away because kids running this department, like AOL, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. don't know the difference between giving you enough information like widescreen or tv(changed to fit the screen or idiot format).
Some movies you have to buy like that because they weren't made in widescreen format or they are classics only offered in it.
I won't buy anymore on demand movies from Amazon except for Monk series. And BTW, even in that series I have bought one widescreen and on standard.
These folks have their crap together only on getting money, not in delivering value.
