Lone Star
Under discussion:
Lone Star
(1996)
Lone Star
is a sprawling movie full of action and suspense, and replete with good acting. Writer and director John Sayles builds a complex portrait of a Texas border town where everyone seems related to everyone else in some way, shape, or form. The ending—which I will not give away here—is particularly challenging and interesting. After the main mystery of who killed the powerful old sheriff is finally solved, the new sheriff decides to let sleeping dogs lie. But this is followed immediately by a shocking discovery about the new sheriff’s romance, and, again, he decides to let sleeping dogs lie. If you, the viewer, agreed with his first decision, you are challenged to agree with his second—not such an easy thing to do—so you will be thinking about it for awhile.
