Judge’s decision

Of course the movie according to the plot is nothing about courts and judges. It is a modern western film, showing two different characters. The bad guy and the “family” guy. The most weird thing is that they are brothers. Although, they both have a “good” reason to do such a business (robbing banks), the director decides to judge both brothers with an indirect way. On the whole, the movie is very good with a inventive scenario, action and humour.
