Don't Come Knocking 2005

Don't Come Knocking (2005)       Howard is a veteran actor who has been a popular Western star since the mid 70's.  Onscreen he is a strong, principled lawman but his real life has been dominated by drinking, drugs and chasing women.  In the middle of filming his latest movie, he simply rides away on his horse.  His shallow life has finally made him fed up.  The movie crew and the insurance company take a dim view that the star is just not there.
       Long, drawn out, some events not fully explained, a lot of over reaction and Howard is not very likeable.  It is funny that he goes to his mother's house and she even lies that she's not lying?  It is sad that Sarah Polley was killed.  3* (This movie is OK)
111 min, Drama directed by Wim Wenders with Sam Shepard, Jessica Lange, Tim Roth, Gabriel Mann, Sarah Polley, Fairuza Balk, Eva Marie Saint. 
Note:  Blockbuster 2 1/2*, imdb 6.6 out of 10, 42% critic 41% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
