This film is a masterpiece. The characters are transplanted from the 1899 novel McTeague by Frank Norris. This movie, however, does not tell the same story as that novel. It selects the setting of the final scenes of the novel, the desert, and it selects the novel's central theme of overpowering greed. It shows the conflict between the insanity of greed, embodied by Trina and the McTeagues, and the good-hearted man, Frank Norris. The final scene, where Trina looks off at her truck as it drives away, and she is now handcuffed to the dead Frank, delivers the punch line of the commentary of this story: that greed never gets you anywhere.Many people will find this film to be low quality or boring; however, read McTeague, then watch this film. If you do that, everything will fall into place.

Yeah, sorry, but I saved you 90 minutes. Laaaaaame dialogue. Josh Brolin plays "mentally challenged," and he lives, only because he lets Minnie combat the aggressor on her own. Total waste of time.

Beautiful scenery, including Minnie Driver, but not much else. She remains striking while all the other males in the cast have their skin fall off due to the climate. This movie is clearly a ripoff of the classic "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", merely substituting diamonds for gold dust. I never could understand the relationships between the characters. Why did she not bolt at the first opportunity, or sleep with one of them? (Either answer would have made more sense than the plot line.)There wan't anyone to root FOR. A hero or heroine would have been nice!

...how many reviewers are unfamiliar with GREED, an engrossing and fascinating film that many critics list in their all-time top ten. This film is a blatant tribute to that film and the book it's based on. Among the many clues are the setting, the characters' names (Marcus, Trina, McTeague, Frank Norris (!!)), the theme, and probably many more things that I've missed. To all who are reading this, please immediately make plans to see GREED by Erich Von Stroheim, the Man You Love to Hate, and the butler from SUNSET BOULEVARD! To be a serious movie-watcher and not to have seen it, is like being interested in drama and having never read Shakespeare.

Don't waste your time on this, defurball your cat, watch some nice paint dry or read a book..Three stars for Josh Brolin's Lennie Small knockoff (Of Mice And Men) and that's it for the acting...James Spader is almost always fine; and here he's wasted doing Ratso Rizzo in the sand. Really a waste.

Two of the best films with the searing for lost gems(or whatever) ' were The Treasure of Sierra madre & Lust For Gold Slowburn is nearly in the same league as those.(No film will ever be as good as the 2 above titles) Against a sun bleached background we find Minnie Driver in her search for an ancestors catch of diamonds that were lost in a sand dune, many years earlier. James Spader & Josh Brolin are 2 escaped dim witted convicts who now are involved in the search. Stuart Wilson is the 4th member of this cast who was involved with Minnies mother. So for over 90 minutes, we have greed, lust danger & all the other instrumnets to make an excellent film Granted I am very partial to this type of movie the acting by all is top draw & the entire production is first rate/ Rent this film, I am sure you will like it may rating is **** as always jay harris

Great flick...James Spader does a fabulous job of looking grungy and sounding lowdown. I barely recognized him...a sign of great acting! Minnie Driver proves she can act AND look great even as a filthy, obsessed treasure hunter. Josh Brolin was so good at being "simple-minded" that I was surprised to see him as an intelligent character in another film. Fun, sad, with great twists. You'll like it...
