Review of Lone Star

Lone Star (1996)
6/10
All Over the Place
9 June 2020
Kind of hard to review because it was an "easy" watch. Never lagged - BUT - it developed multiple threads and then threw most of them away without resolution. Why did Matthew McConaughey's picture show up at all? Because he phoned it in for a check. Maybe 10 minutes of screen time. We watch characters introduced, then forgotten and unresolved. The whole point was "who dun it?" That is given away almost at once, as well as being forgone that nothing will come of the final revelation. I think the whole movie rides on the authentic western feel, and some strong performances The story is pointless and all over the place, and the ending is - well, an attempt to be controversial? Nah, just another undeveloped theme. Watch it.
