Texas Killing Fields (2011)

Thats just it. Its the only way to describe this movie. Its broken and I keep thinking of ways I could fix it, No mas. I give up.To being with, its a linear narrative and for god knows why, and yet its still one of the most broken pieces of narratives I have ever seen in all my life. That just made the movie lose its integrity, overall just making the plot weak.The performances are good from a stellar cast as is, but this is just a movie lacking in all other fronts. Let it play in the background while you have a couple of drinks, browsing on social media. Thats what I did, as it hardly demanded any attention from me.

A quite enjoyable thriller. The plot line is nothing special but well executed and the good acting by the two main characters makes the movie quite enjoyable. The chemistry between Morgan and Worthington is good and their individual performances are even better. They deliver what they were payed for. A similar statement can be made for Chloe Grace Moretz. While this isn't her best performance it is still a very intense and deep performance. The only disruptive thing is the side story that goes on and draws attention away from the main plot. While it is slightly connected to the main story line it makes the plot seem rather less important. If the focus would've stayed more on Morgan and Worthington's story line the movie could've gotten even more intense and unfold more carefully. This way we can never really feel for the characters and while the story line is good the emotions stay away. All in all we can say that while we have a solid story and acting the feelings and emotions of the movie are mostly absent and the other elements are rather average therefore we can justify the 6/10 rating.

A film about the hunt for a serial killer might well be implausible, but to be both implausible and boring is a tall order; "Texas Killing Fields" succeeds magnificently on both counts, even though there is a chase with a shoot out, a climax of sorts, and a couple of other worthy scenes.This is said to be based on a true story; it isn't, except in a very, very general sense. Is there one serial killer or two, or maybe more? We never really find out, although we know who is the main man.This is a modern film noir although with subdued colours rather than in black and white. Its implausibilities include a team of basically two detectives being used to track down a man who obviously has more than the blood of one victim on his hands. Yes, there are other officers and technicians involved, but major murder investigations have never been run like this, certainly not in the lifetime of anyone reading this review.

i guess people dissing this good film are too used to have everything pointed out to them and punctuated with rock music and loud bangs every 3 seconds.i much prefer to use my brains and understand what is going on, on my own. i appreciate a film maker who does not explain everything as if i were a moron. if you disagree, go watch "fast and furious" all over again. this flick is definitely not for you.i found this story very clear. director knows what she is doing, cast is top notch all over. just turn your brains on, and pay attention.in fact, i felt drawn into the investigation, which was very messy, because, you know, in real life things happen in a messy way. humans... are messy. but the movie is never gross. just believable. but if you don't like believable, there is enough "csi" series to help you.as for the "mumbling".,,. the dialog is not as important here as what goes on. the story has images, people, look at them, this is a movie. and on netflix you can use the subtitles, in case you are hard of hearing.
