Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A simple and fairly strong tale about a 15-year-old kid (Benson) who turns revenge killer after watching his father murdered. But it's submerged beneath an impenetrably fruity script littered with clichés on Life with a capital L and a man finding 'a place with his name on it'. 'So what's so special about Texas?' 'It's the meanin' that's different, not the dirt'. Unremarkable direction, routine performances, and a pair of uninteresting juvenile leads finish the thing off.Author: VG
