Texas Heart

I enjoyed watching Texas Heart, it had several funny moments and the joke about the pie is quite the zinger. With enough suspense to hold you until the end, you'll find some solid performances by the cast. What I particularly enjoyed was the performance of the mentally challenged Tigger. This could easily be an over the top SNL skit, but it was played with finesse and the proper tone. The dog kinda fell flat in his performance as Buddy. The lead actor, he was good too, but the thugs chasing him could have been more menacing, but the courtroom scenes come off as convincing.

Overall I recommend Texas Heart.

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

I'm a indie film lover, and this is a gem. The story is beautiful, and the actors bring it to life. The movie is tense and unexpected. Erik Fellows does a stellar job in portraying the mob lawyer who has a chance of redemption in texas. Also, I felt specifically touched, as my deaf son was once suspected of having an autistic disorder, which made the film all the more beautiful for me. A must see.

A brilliant film! Great performances, great script, witty and moving. The story spans a number of different directions, following multiple characters and it's to the filmmakers credit that when the drama really comes knocking, you really give a damn. Again to make a film that takes you through such an array of different emotions is a real triumph. This independent production is worth the time!

I watched a lot of indie films this week, including Texas Heart. I read all the good reviews and all the bad ones. I don't get the low reviews on this one. My barometer of a film is whether I can walk away from it part way through. Texas Heart wouldn't let me go get a snack, and that's an unusual thing. Some of the acting in the Southern town may seem exaggerated to those who don't live in one- but I live in a place where when you move in, someone may very well turn up on your front porch with a home backed pecan pie. The cinematography was top notch and the editing and pacing was spot on. A few weaknesses as in any indie film, but well worth your time to watch.
