19. The only scene that really got to me was the jacket.

As for all the rest, I felt like I really had to use my imagination in order to get a feeling for what the characters felt on the inside. And maybe that was the director's point, that these two cowboys didn't really have what it took to be outwardly emotional towards each other. But it still left me a little cold. I wear my heart on my sleeve in a relationship, and I guess I wanted to see more of that from at least one of the leading men.

I still thought it was a good movie, just not great.
