This movie looks weirdly fascinating. I thought Josh Brolin's Hex character would be more scarred up. I hope this movie does well for Josh(who is a very fine actor) but he hasn't had a lotta luck opening movies at NO. 1. with the exception of American Gangster. Now that Josh is a bona-fide leading actor, the Hollywood Honchos are gonna expect alot of $$ from him. So here's hoping...
