Texas Rangers Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Spikeopath A choppy mess! The changing of history is kinda irrelevant in films of this type, you tend to go in just wanting to be thrilled and tingled. Sadly this can do neither and can only light the fires of a youthful audience interested in the pretty stars on show. It's western genre movie making 101, MTV video style. There's no flow or reason for instances, the characterisations veer from possibly interesting to sideline dummies. It was held back for release by the studio for two years +, and tinkered with by Jack the Ripper in the editing room, so it's hardly surprising it was a major flop and didn't even make enough money back to pay for the post party cakes. The action scenes are competently handled, but these are the rare bright spots on a dull nonsensical landscape. 3/10
FightingWesterner A decade after the Civil War, Texas is overrun by a virtual army of bandits and cattle-rustlers. Ex-Confederate/ex-preacher/ex-lawman Dylan McDermott is tasked with recruiting a new a new generation of Texas Rangers to take on vicious cattle rustler Alfred Molina.From the director of such classic westerns as Friday the 13th Part 2, House, Halloween H2O, and Warlock (nope, not the one with Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn), and co-starring cowboy icons James Van Der Beek, Ashton Kutcher, and Usher, this failed history lesson makes the stars of Young Guns look like the The Wild Bunch!All kidding aside, it's not really THAT bad. Production values are good and action sequences are well-made. An economical 90-minute running (featuring eight-minutes of end credits!) may, or may not help. It's hard to tell.The main problem is that the characters are superficial and the youthful cast of very recognizable stars looks painfully out-of-place in 1875 Texas. I'm a bit surprised this actually made it to theaters, instead of straight-to-video or The Hallmark Channel.Though miscast, Molina does seem to be enjoying himself!
ctomvelu1 A movie that should never have seen the light of day, and probably the worst Western ever made. A group of young men, right after the Civil war, take it upon themselves to bring law and order to Texas. The cover art and the general feel of his lame film is stolen from YOUNG GUNS, but it is nowhere near as interesting and most of the characters are cardboard cutouts. A wooden Dylan McDermott leads the squadron as they race around Texas hunting down bad guys. Nothing much actually happens, the film is badly edited and the often loud, overbearing music doesn't fit the production. On top of everything else, this looks like it cost about a dollar and a half to make. I can understand why this thing sat on the shelf for several years.
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!
