The most incredible thing about this movie is that it is only Andrew Dominik's second film and he has already created a visual masterpiece. The film borrows heavily from Terrence Malick, and I only say this as a complement because I am a major fan of Mr. Malick (I am listening to the soundtrack to The New World as I write this). There is much more dialogue in this then in Malick's films and Andrew Dominik seems to have a thing for shooting through glass. The film really gets under my skin as a watch it and the tension that it creates is outstanding. The major fault of the movie is that Zooey Deschanel is underused. I feel that in the original cut she must have had a more substantial role, and maybe someday we will be able to see that version.
