Clearly not for everyone, this movie was wonderful nonetheless. Great story! Wonderful directing. Really well drawn and distinct characters. Billy Bob's acting, as usual, was stellar. There aren't many actors who could make his crazy, touching, man child character believable. Robert Duvall and John Hurt were fantastic. The only flaw was the part where Robert Duvall's character takes LSD - it was weak right from the beginning and only got more tiresome as it went on and on. Kevin Bacon was the weak link. He is good ... but not great. His scenes are like lead balloons. There is one scene at the end where the brothers share a joint and Bacon obviously doesn't know what he should be doing. The other performances were solid however.
