Synopsis "John Sayles' biggest andibest film yet. Gripping. Perceptive andithoughtful." - Janet Maslin, The New York Times John Sayles' Lone Star begins as a riveting whodunit about the unsolved murder of a corrupt lawman. Soon it becomes much more. The intriguing saga of clashing cultures and dirty dealings in a Texas border town. A moving look at parents and children at odds and the passions of forbidden love across generations. Lone Star (an Academy Award nominee for its screenplay) takes on the heady complexity of a page-turner novel as its multilayered plot unfolds, showcasing Sayles' gift for assembling the best ensemble casts. Chris Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, Kris Kristofferson, Elizabeth Pena, Joe Morton, Frances McDormand and more give rich performances. It's "a great movie with staying power," Leah Rozen of People wrote, " a journey well worth taking."

Customer Review One of the best - 3.75 out of 5  (1/23/2001) "Lone Star" is, amazingly, just as good as all the critics said it is. Maybe better. I won't get into the plot or the structure (check out the good "Empire Review" link here to get a rundown), but I will say that it is a very human movie and one of my favorites. The DVD transfer is pretty good. There was a small bit of digital junk along the edges of lined surfaces from time to time, but you had to look for it. The sound is good, but not spectacular.
