Review of Texas Killing Fields (2011) by Glenn C — 24 Apr 2012

I had reasonable expectations for Texas Killing Fields. Danny Boyle was originally attached to direct the film but he pulled out stating that the movie was so dark that it was never likely to get made.

... hmmmm. The script he had must have been drastically different from this one. Two cops investigate a series of murders in the bayou's of Texas. Inspired by true events to movie really fails on most levels.

It's so underwhelming. I found myself completely confused by it... not a lot made sense. Most of the dialogue is muffled and there's nothing (at all) grounding the characters. Sam Worthington and Jeffrey Dean Morgan star in this mess and they're both as wooden as my coffee table.

I'm keen to read some other opinions of this movie because it's had some decent write-ups... I just wasted 100 minutes.
