Leave your thoughts about Texas Killing Fields.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekJust uses a spooky atmosphere and fractured style to disguise the fact that it's actually covering quite familiar territory. |
| DeadspinWill LeitchThe film doesn't really go anywhere or establish any narrative sense, which is problem, since it's ostensibly a police procedural. |
| Eclipse MagazineMichelle AlexandriaI know many people don't like Sam Worthington and I'm one of them. Worthington is trying to prove that he's not the one-dimensional actor that we all think he is. |
| Film School RejectsRobert LevinAn assured, moody police procedural rendered with rich cinematography. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanNothing in this film sets your nerves a-tingling. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirIt's an intriguingly murky B-movie that should satisfy genre buffs. |
| CNNRadioPaul Chambers"Texas Killing Fields" is nothing more than an average crime thriller with some better-than-average suspense. Paul Chambers, CNN. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA downbeat but atmospheric police-procedural thriller, that works in parts but not as a whole because of serious plot holes making it incoherent. |
| TimeRichard CorlissApplying Dad's directorial style of sweaty closeups, prowling telephoto shots and an ominous electronic score (by ex-Tindersticks member Dickon Hinchliffe), the younger Mann has dished out a meaty drama with familiar ingredients from the Law & Order kitchen but a distinctively bitter taste. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA competent film but only marginally better than typical TV fare. |
