PG / English / Drama / 96 mins
Bob Muldoon and Ruth Guthrie, an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills. Although Ruth wounds a local officer, Bob takes the blame. But four years later, Bob escapes from prison and sets out to find Ruth and their daughter, born during his incarceration. The beautiful, irreconcilable dilemma of the story is that Ruth-compelled by the responsibilities of motherhood and her evolving relationship with the deputy she shot-remains haunted by her intense feelings for Bob. Each of them longs for some form of peace. Ironically, it's Bob, the unrepentant criminal trapped in the romantic image of a bygone past, who is driven by an almost righteous sense of clarity. Following in the footsteps of Badlands and Bonnie And Clyde, Lowery's humanism transcends the genre.
