Tommy Lee Jones was the highlight of this movie.

I thought so too at first, but isn't a silver dollar worth more than $1?

I don't understand why Rane just didn't answer the question "Where's the case fulla silver dollars?" with "Why, it's down at the bank. You redneck *beep* didn't think I'd leave a fortune lying in my lounge, now did you?" And why WASN'T it down at the bank, ffs?

Even if they force him to go down the bank, his home and the potential for family to return is cut out of the equation.

I also don't understand why they weren't tearing the place apart looking for it. About six of them there, and they all had to assist in the torture, like two of them couldn't have popped into the rest of the house and had a quick look around. No, they appear to have got there good and early, then waited patiently for what turned out to be the one man who wouldn't tell him where it was.

Another thing that annoyed me was one of the henchmen complained that Rane as an Air Force officer had had an easy time in 'Nam, "flying above it all while we crawled in the mud.." - is this guy thick or what? I can only assume the TV bulletin showing the award of the silver dollars was the same one mentioned he got one dollar for every day he was in captivity (I think) which would make that 5 and a half years of daily torture and starvation. Some way to avoid getting shot at huh?
