Synopsis: Twists,
turns, tragedy test Texas town.
Blurb From the VHS
Jacket: “John Sayles’ Lone Star begins as a riveting whodunit about the
unsolved murder of a corrupt lawman. Soon it becomes much more.”
What Did I Learn?:
Guys, if both your dad, and your girlfriend’s mom REALLY don’t want the two of
you to date each other, and they get kinda funny when you ask why, there might
be a good reason. That’s all I’m going to say...
Really?: Hmm..so
the evil sheriff mysteriously disappears and nothing much happens afterward? I
guess this raises the question of why somebody didn’t bump him off a bit
earlier, considering he terrorized the county and killed people for years.
Rating: Lone Star
is a well-written, and richly-textured drama about long-hidden secrets in a
small Texas border community inhabited by Anglos, Mexicans, Indians and
African-Americans. This film is a masterpiece on many levels, and highly
recommended. 10/10 stars.
