I put it to the top of my queue and it's coming tomorrow.
brokeplex:
just ordered it
Lynne:
Thanks for letting us know about this film, Eric! I've just put it at the top of my Netflix queue.
Edit: Weird that Netflix has this at 2.2 stars, considering how much I value your opinion. Of course, I frequently disagree with Netflix. :P
southendmd:
I watched Broken Fences tonight. I'm sorry to say I was not blown away. Netflix gave it 2.2 stars out of 5. Like Lynne, I do not always agree with Netflix. I wouldn't have given even that many.
I'm sorry, Eric. Just didn't like it. Certainly there are the right-out-of-Brokeback kind of scenes and scenery, a taciturn cowboy, even a Linda Ronstadt song! But the similarities are just superficial. The guy who wrote/produced/directed this thing is an amateur.
The actor who played the father was the only saving grace. I felt bad for him, trying to pull off this material. The guy who played the son was cute enough, but was dumber than a horseshoe.
The story started off OK, but quickly devolved into the pointless of no return. The ending belonged in some other film.
