Arriaga's wry fatalism is strangely satisfying, and his screenplay provides the backbone for great performances by the principal cast. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- With all due respect to that important, quasi-controversial, most-honored film of last year, this is the best Western of 2005.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada has the grandeur of a morality drama enriched with the impassioned bewilderment of true tragedy. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- [A] long, kooky, immensely absorbing picture, which forges the elegiac cruelty of a Cormac McCarthy novel with the two-fisted machismo of a Sam Peckinpah movie, and comes up with an altogether new brand of Western mythology.

In The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, there is heartbreak, loss, and adultery, all of it general and all of it far more affecting than any self-righteous ethics or anachronistic western codes. Full Review

Rating: 67/100 -- An offbeat, tonal take on the Western, Tommy Lee Jones' The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada is best described as soulful and creative, if scattered and overambitious. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- This isn't a film that demands to be enjoyed in order to be remembered -- one way or the other, it will stick with you. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Peter Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones) is a veteran cowboy who embodies the values of the old west, living in a small Texas town bordering the U.S. and Mexico. He hires Melquiades Estrada as a ranch hand and quickly befriends the man. But when Estrada is gunned down under mysterious circumstances, Perkins takes justice into his own hands and kidnaps a trigger-happy border patrolman (Barry Pepper), forcing the patrolman to unearth Estrada's body and accompany Perkins on horseback on the long and treacherous journey through the frontier mountains and back roads of Mexico to bring his friends body home.
