steve-974-698135 I watched 5 minutes and found way too many historical inaccuracies. Not a single man is dressed like a Texas Ranger. The Captain of the Rangers threatens to track down a departing Ranger because he is stealing Ranger clothes, a Ranger badge, Ranger boots, a Ranger horse. To this day, the Rangers pay for their own clothes. In the old days, most Rangers refused to wear a badge because it was thought of as a target for the bad guys. Horses were not provided to any Ranger -- officer or enlisted. Many, if not most, Rangers did not wear the traditional cowboy hats. The Texas sun is too strong. Sombreros were very popular. Rangers were always on their horses. They did not wear their guns low like a gunslinger. That would be stupid. They wore them high so that they could get to them easier while mounted.You could make 30 or 40 good movies about the Rangers and their dealings with outlaws like Bass and Hardin. They could make a darn good comedy out of the One riot/One Ranger Dallas prizefight. They could make a great movie about Judge Roy and Langtry. Judge Roy Bean is the guy who eventually put on that prizefight, even though the Rangers did everything they could to stop it. They could have made a great movie about the Ranger who tracked down Bonnie and Clyde.They could have made a monumental movie. But instead they focus on crap. They present crap. They look like crap. They dress like crap. They speak like crap. No one in Texas, past or present, speaks like the goobers in this movie.In their entire history, the Rangers lost just one important battle. Besides that battle (Salinero Revolt), this movie is the blackest mark on Ranger history.
DiamondGirl427 I never heard of this film before seeing it listed on Showtime. I thought it was a fairly decent film...even when I saw "Dawson" and then "Kelso" come on the screen. Nevermind Usher being there too. I thought..Oh great...this will be so lame. Not so. It could have had less scenes where the good guys were riding hell-bent for leather across the plains...it was shown over and over..I wondered if the same areas were used for each of those scenes? It was some what predictable most of the time too...of course you knew the Mexican girl wasn't dead...the attraction between her and Lincoln was too obvious for her to die so soon. I was surprised that Aston could do serious acting..his stint as Kelso seemed to be the extent of his screen talents in my opinion...sorry..he isn't a big deal to me as far as Hollywood "stars" go. Being married to Demi means na-da..big deal. Anyway...I liked it..enjoyed it...and wished it had been a stronger movie all around. The characters needed more depth..we needed to know when, why and how they came to all be where they were. The director, producer and others cashed in on the two main stars being so hot at the moment when this film was made. With a little more effort it could have been a HUGE film...which I think it should have been. Instead..it ended up on a video store shelve somewhere and of course..offered for free on channels like SHOWTIME. Pity. I would have paid to see it on the big screen if it had been showcased as a blockbuster.
tracy-fbeye This movie was excellent! I am a teenager who didn't really think she would be interested in a western - I was wrong! This movie may not have had a huge plot or a great bunch of typical movie experiences, such as romance, sex, swearing, etc. but it had a perfect amount of western-style storyline to make it fascinating! The story is jam-packed with emotion, excitement, tension, even humor. The roles, in my opinion, were perfectly cast and even if the story is kinda predictable, it's not at all boring.If you want to see it, don't hesitate! It is completely worth the money spent and the time it takes. In fact, I've watched it over 10 times and have bought it, taken the audio and put it on my MP3 player to listen to, and have the soundtrack. It's wonderful! 100% recommended!
IMDbDon Who do you blame for a movie like this? When you watch a movie you can easily blame an actor for not putting in a good performance, a writer for a flawed script, or a director for not getting the right job out of an actor, or a casting director for a miss-cast. In this movie you can blame all of them, but, the bulk of the blame goes to one certain group: the producers.Alan Greisman and Frank Price must step up and take most of the blame for what is wrong with this film. This was a get-rich quick scheme that got what it deserved. When you set out to make a movie only for the money, and not for the movie, and there is no heart in it from the producers, this is what happens. There must be an undying passion from a film maker for it to show up in the final product on the screen. Here it just didn't happen. No heart in no heart out.Money talks and bullshit walks, and if you look at the following numbers, you can figure out which one this film is: Production Budget: $38,000,000 Total US Gross: $623,374
