Powerful

Good concept, poorly executed.

best movie i've ever seen.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

"You can run forever. But you can't run from your heart." This beautiful movie is an emotional rollercoaster. Kam Dabrowski's acting was awesome! Wonderfully directed, starred and written.

Predictability: 10/10 Script: 3/10 Acting: 2/10 Please ... Don't waste your time.

Might be what you'd get if Bill Forsythe's Local Hero ventured into John Grisham territory about a city slicker lawyer who finds his true purpose and redemption in a small Texas town. Heartfelt, soulful, gripping and gut-wrenching, Texas Heart grabs you with a tense, rapid fire opening courtroom scene and never lets go. It works so well because, as other reviewers have said, the script, acting, editing and overall production values (other than a tad underpopulated final courtroom scene) are all first rate. The dialogue really crackles. Favorite line: "That's what you get for messin' with Texas!" Great to see John Savage in a meatier role than his cameo in Return to Twin Peaks. Lin Shaye is a terrific, take-no-prisoners villain. The movie has a wonderful feel for small town life and great affection for its denizens, even the losers. It's like sinking into a great novel. The denouement is pretty damn unlikely but undeniably satisfying. Hey, it's a movie that believes in fate. And its heart, its great big Texas heart, is always in the right place.

I thoroughly enjoyed Texas Heart, I cried, I laughed. It's just a feel good movie all around. I enjoyed the court room scene in the beginning of the movie, when the main character was first threatened and left town. My favorite character in the movie was Tiger. The actor who portrayed him did a very good job of portraying a mentally challenged person. I knew he was innocent the whole time during his trial. I was happy the main character decided to represent Tiger and prove him innocent. The story line kept my attention during the whole movie.It's a good family movie. I thought the acting was very good through the whole movie. I would highly recommend my friends and family to see Texas Heart.
