The film’s problems are obvious and serious. At two hours and 45 minutes, it’s frantically overlong, with no comprehensible shape. The endless bad language wears on your ears. The combat is too bloodthirsty. Branding fills every visual gap. Bay takes an entire scene to explain, with references, why ogling his 17-year-old female lead character (the actress, Peltz, is 19) is acceptable under Texan law.
