Death in Texas

Good movie!

This movie is a great ride from start to finish. And I have to say that Bruce Dern delivers some lines in this movie as the main villain that are legendary. Stephan Lang also has a genuine performance and his relationship with Lara Flynn Boyle is really flushed out with a pacing that allows you to track the emotional journey of each character. Ronnie Blevins, as Billy, is a great cross between a Giovanni Ribisi edge, and a Sam Rockwell unpredictability. The story paces itself extremely well and you leave with some great performances and well-crafted tension. Well done on the writing and directing.

Caution: This is not a bang-bang action flick. To tell the truth, it's not really my type of favorite movie (action and sci-fi, etc.). It's more of a real-life drama with a couple of criminals involved than anything else. But I watch a lot of movies and by that I can tell, this is a really, really well-executed movie. Great acting, good camera, no plot holes, great actors and plenty of drama. I enjoyed this movie a lot. It's not your over the top story or a bunch of invincible super heroes. Much more down to earth real life. A really good movie. No way anything below 7 in my book for what it is. Well recommended.

I rented this thinking it was the best movie to rent at the time. Knowing lately that most of the rentals are movies straight to video. It had a decent cast, so I got it. Started watching, and it got me interested. As the story progresses it was getting better. The main actor (Ronnie Gene Blevins) had been in a few movies but nothing major. After watching him in this one, I'm a fan. To see Bruce Dern still acting and playing the bad guy. Loved it. Even someone I haven't seen in years from Beverly Hills Cop (John Ashton). Stephen Lang did a great job as he always does. I'd like to see him in more lead movies. I was surprised to see Lara Flynn Boyle again. Haven't seen her in years. Whoever cast the actors in this movie did what Quentin Tarantino does. Bringing back good talent that once was and giving them parts. Give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Flynn / Boyle, Lang, Blevins, and Co. Knock the cover off the ball in this tale love and redemption meets against the ropes drama. If you are forced to choose one flick to see this year, choose this one!!

Billy Walker (Ronnie Gene Blevins) gets paroled from prison because his mother (Lara Flynn Boyle) has a liver issue that appears terminal without a donor. She is too far down the list. Billy discovers that a doctor can perform the operation across the border with a black market liver for $160K. When Billy's old drug-dealing friend flashes a lot of cash in front of him, Billy decides to make a withdrawal with deadly consequences and the cartel looking for him. This was a slightly different drug crime movie. The acting was solid but the plot and dialogue could have been better. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Really enjoyed watching the actor Mike Foy in this movie. One of my favorites.

What a fun ride! Great cast! Explosive action and edgy characters set against a moral struggle to do one last good thing before your time is up. Death in Texas is as hot as the pico at the cantina, so if you're gonna take a shot, make it a double.

Great movie filled with action and drama! Definitely a plot twist!

This was a great movie with surprising twists. Expect a lot of action and sentimental moments. It was a perfect combination of both. Really encapsulates what the meaning of sacrifice is, especially when it comes to family.
