The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada

Tommy Lee Jones' directorial debut is great -- I'd call it a modern western. It feels like Jones is acting in his own skin. Characters are real and complex. Everyone is good and bad. Everyone is somewhat crazy. I am not sure it needed to be as gross as it was in a few scenes. It felt a little like Weekend at Bernies sometimes, but it's forgiven. The story is strong, well told and I enjoyed it.
