TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Sober-Friend This film I never herd of. When it came on I was instantly glued. It was shocking a little gruesome but none the less riveting. This film was written by Billy Bob Thornton years before his breakthrough film "Sling Blade". In this film he plays a con who has no mercy and is trying to stay one step ahead of the law. Its not easy. Not a film you expect but if you want to see an underrated and little known film then you must see this. The film also features the late Bill Paxton who small town cop is actually well written. When comes across as a racist cop slowly subsides and truly becomes the hero of the film.

chaos-rampant Here we have thugs on the run from a vicious crime, police waiting for them on the other end, holed up in a small place in backwoods Arkansas. Some ordinary tension as the first desperately try to evade cops on their way to getting rid of the drugs.Eventually it reveals itself to be about people, or wants to be. About the local yokel cop who wants to make it big in LA, eavesdropping on LA cops who make fun of his eagerness. About the black girl who came all the way back to see her son but can't because cops are staking out the house.When these two come together in an empty house for a night far from the anxious plot mechanics, that's where plot is supposed to part and we should have tentative baring of souls. That's where we find out about a white dad who walked out on his black kid one day and how that's rippled through to happen again. Tentative, while plot mechanics are meanwhile snapping into place. It's more the sentiment for a certain kind of weary world that deceives than the unencumbered view of what it means to be in the middle. We're always more heavily invested in a plot way than urges sent forth and encountered. It's one of those films where maybe a few tweaks could change it all around. The actors - Billy bob, Paxton, the black girl - and camera stop short of embodying this world in a way that would make the difference. Devil in a Blue Dress by the same maker got there I thought.Noir Meter: 1/4

Maziun I think this movie was made outside mainstream by some little studio . I expected some cheap B-thriller and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a solid thriller . It's not a movie driven by twists, but by characters . It succeeds , because the direction is top notch . The director was able to create some unnerving moments of true tension and when the violence kicks in it's a really painful (emotionally ) experience. This is more of a character driven story not by twists.Also , almost the whole movie resolves around Bill Pulman ("Predator 2") as a Redneck sheriff . He's adorable . There is so much passion in him , a child like naivety and easy going personality . Later in the movie he shows he's darker , more mature side.The other actors give solid support to Pullman . I have to mention Michael Beach who really seems to be cold blooded psycho and good performance by Billy Bob Thornton (who is also the writer of the movie).I give it 7/10.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain One False Move was simply a beautiful, and little seen, crime film. Three drug dealers on the run are suspected to be heading towards Arkansas. Here, a couple of big city cops meet up with the local sheriff. Paxton is fantastic in this role. He's not very worldly, has never had to use his gun, and is just a little too excited about the approaching threat. His enthusiasm comes off as naivety, and he is laughed off by the LAPD. The film does well to follow the cops and the killers. We see a bizarre triangle between the murderers. Thornton is filled with anger and out of control, whereas his partner is cool and calm but ultimately terrifying. The pacing of this film was done very well, offering moments of tension in a film that has a lot of waiting around. It also harvests a lot of emotion and depth for its characters. Paxton comes off the best as a giddy little boy waiting for Christmas. There are some great moments, such as his reaction to hearing the teasing from the city cops. Another scene sees him use the "n" word in front of the black cop. His facial expression is priceless, as he realises what he has said. Eventually Paxton takes responsibility, and he shows that his enthusiasm masks his competence. A big fish in a small pond. One False Move is very dark, but has a lot going for it. Most of all the tender ending.
