Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for fans of prison dramas and romantics. The walls close in, and so does the tension. If you loved Hang 'em High or Brokeback Mountain, start here.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 57 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The year is 1949. A young Texan named John Grady finds himself without a home after his mother sells the ranch where he has spent his entire life. Lured south of the border by the romance of cowboy life and the promise of a fresh start, Cole and his pal embark on an adventure that will test their resilience, define their maturity, and change their lives forever.
