You won't be disappointed!

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Greetings from Lithuania."One False Move" (1992) is s great thriller, with excellent script from Billy Bob Thornton. Acting was also very very solid by everyone involved. I was really involved into this movie, it got me hocked from the get go. This is at the same time straightforward thriller, but after some 25 min you will notice that it is not actually. It tels more stories, personal ones as well as about one small town police officer who want to go big. And more, much more.Overall, "One False Move" is more then a simple thriller. It has superb script which in my opinion should have been nominated for Oscar as best original screenplay. It also has a very solid acting by everyone involved. It perfectly captures the mood of the place. It's also a bloody movie, it is not about violence though, although it doesn't shine away from it. Great movie.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to watch this movie. But after the first few minutes I could tell that this was going to be one of those films that might be worth watching. Essentially, Cynda Williams plays a young woman named "Fantasia" who has gotten herself mixed up with the wrong kind of people. Her boyfriend, "Ray Malcolm" (Billy Bob Thornton) has just gotten out of prison and along with another ex-convict named "Lenny 'Pluto' Franklin" (Michael Beach) are involved in drugs and murder. Unfortunately, things begin to go wrong for them as they travel from Los Angeles to Houston and then to Arkansas. Anyway, rather than divulge the entire story I will just say that this turned out to be a very good crime-drama. Both Billy Bob Thornton and Cynda Williams performed in an excellent manner and in my opinion carried this film. Definitely worth a watch if you like movies of this genre.

A sweetly innocuous small town gets a visit from some big time hoods and local sheriff Bill Paxton wants in on the bust, much to the annoyance of the two L.A. cops trailing them. But soon there is much more going on than a crime story. The sheriff's ex is traveling with the goons and her personal history with the sheriff then serves to fog up an otherwise straightforward pursuit. Motives and loyalties are questioned, temptations arise and personal drama takes the foreground. This second act shift from crime story to relationship drama is what gives the movie its power and makes it memorable and unusual. Too often, crime thrillers have tacked on romantic subplots that just clutter things up, but here the relationship and its fall-out are inextricable from the plot and are in fact pushing it ahead. The proceedings feel authentic and the drama has power rooted in that emotional authenticity. Cynda Williams is particularly good as the ex; she doesn't just appear in the movie, she haunts it. Her strong presence and her emotional history with the sheriff pervade and color everything that comes after her first appearance and she becomes the key figure and the great enigma at the center of the drama. I liked the dusty-but-harmless look of the small Arkansas town, and the way everybody in it manages to convey normalcy without being dull. This shows good writing and quality work on the part of the minor players. The whole movie is a testament to putting quality in the details. There are few false notes struck here, a rare thing for a low budget crime drama.

One False Move was simply a beautiful, and little seen, crime film. Three drug dealers on the run are suspected to be heading towards Arkansas. Here, a couple of big city cops meet up with the local sheriff. Paxton is fantastic in this role. He's not very worldly, has never had to use his gun, and is just a little too excited about the approaching threat. His enthusiasm comes off as naivety, and he is laughed off by the LAPD. The film does well to follow the cops and the killers. We see a bizarre triangle between the murderers. Thornton is filled with anger and out of control, whereas his partner is cool and calm but ultimately terrifying. The pacing of this film was done very well, offering moments of tension in a film that has a lot of waiting around. It also harvests a lot of emotion and depth for its characters. Paxton comes off the best as a giddy little boy waiting for Christmas. There are some great moments, such as his reaction to hearing the teasing from the city cops. Another scene sees him use the "n" word in front of the black cop. His facial expression is priceless, as he realises what he has said. Eventually Paxton takes responsibility, and he shows that his enthusiasm masks his competence. A big fish in a small pond. One False Move is very dark, but has a lot going for it. Most of all the tender ending.
