Everyone is grumpy in Texas in the eighties. Leading Goonie Josh Brolin finds money. Javier Bardem wants the money and is prepared to use air to get it. Tommy Lee Jones is, frankly, more disappointed than angry with the whole lot of them. Everyone gets their comeuppance at the end. Not as funny as There Will Be Blood.
