From the so elegant titles of the beginning to the very end with that song of Steve Earle, everything it's been well cared in this story about political intrigues, corruption, mistreatment of the immigrants, and critic of the system. The cast is just superb (in fact it is the strong point of "S. City"), and Chris Cooper looks great playing that drip Governor that's just a puppet in the hands of his father's rich friends (does it sound familiar to any of you, guys??).
John Sayles had all the necessary ingredients to create a superb movie, but there's something wrong: maybe that there's not a specific target, maybe the so linear narration, maybe the excessive length... There's a very thin line that separates great movies from ordinary movies, and "Silver city" does not trespass it in any moment. Anyway, it is a good try, and it's good to have some quality stuff from Hollywood.
*My rate: 6.5/10
