Full Plot Details

In Los Angeles, after a violent drug rip-off, the Los Angeles Police Department detectives find the identity of the trio - the sadistic I.Q. of 150 and college graduate Lenny "Pluto" Franklyn; his not so bright buddy in San Quentin Ray Malcolm; and his girlfriend Fantasia. Their further investigation indicates that the criminals are fleeing to Star City, Arkanas, and LAPD detective Dud Cole and his partner John McFeely contact the local Chief of Police Dale 'Hurricane' Dixon and they head to the little town. The yokel family man Dale, who is used to resolve domestic issues, is fascinated with the chance to participate of a manhunt and befriends the two detectives. But when he sees the picture of Fantasia, he recognizes her as Lila Walker and is haunted by his past, hiding a secret about Lila Walker.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertIt's so rare to find a film in which the events are driven by people, not by chases or special effects. And rarer still to find a story that subtly, insidiously gets us involved much more deeply than at first we realize, until at the end we're torn by what happens - by what has to happen.
Philadelphia Daily News - 10/10 by Gary ThompsonRookie director Carl Franklin shows an obvious gift for pace and storytelling -- uncertain, halting moments are rare. Almost every scene has rich and authentic feeling.
Orlando Sentinel - 10/10 by Jay BoyarDirector Carl Franklin takes a simple premise and treats it so straightforwardly that the result is jarring - at times, even powerful.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Gene SiskelMixing moments of genuine terror with offbeat comedy, writers Tom Epperson and Thornton have created a script that jumps along wih the energy of "In Cold Blood."
Christian Science Monitor - 10/10 by David SterrittThe story is punctuated by violence that's as pointless as it is nasty, though, showing an unfortunate immaturity in the filmmakers.
Time Out - 10/10 by Geoff AndrewOne of the finest American movies in recent years.
Independent on Sunday - 9/10 by Quentin CurtisThe film is not quite the masterpiece some have hailed, but it has a bluesy grip, subtle humour and more thought than the average thriller.
Hartford Courant - 9/10 by Owen McNallyEven worse than this annoying contrivance is Fantasia's portentous speech about the cry of a whippoorwill. And, yes, we actually do hear a whippoorwill cry. Perhaps it's a sign of the death of the hopes the promising film gives rise to, but then betrays.
Q Network Film Desk - 9/10 by James KendrickWhat sets One False Move apart from other films of its sort is the superior screenplay by first time screenwriters Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson that gets better and better as the film progresses.
Independent (UK) - 9/10 by Adam Mars-JonesFranklin seizes the opportunity to make a film that tightly binds up any political concerns it may have into the plot.
