I saw the second half of it on IFC a couple times so I investe $10 in a DVD from e-Bay. Great story. Highly recomended. Mature theme, 18 years and up probably.
At the end, they add tidbits that make you wonder if it was based on a true story. Probably not but some aspects based on actual events.

Two of the bad guys - Fender and Big Ears - are about the meanest looking bad guys I can recall in a movie. Both guys look sorta big and tough in other photos, but they invest a believable amount of menace in these roles. |
Yes, I saw it in the theater when it came out. Good film, apparently based on actual events. Even a link to my homeland in it which surprised me. Comes up briefly in conversation when they were discussing the price of the herd. My paternal grandfather went to SA as a Brit soldier to fight the boers.
