Two off-duty sergeants from an Army post near the Texas border town of Frontera find skeletal remains and a rusty sheriff's badge on an abandoned rifle range. Frontera's current sheriff, Sam Deeds, son of the late legendary lawman Buddy Deeds, begins an investigation. Sam quickly learns that the bones are those of the corrupt sheriff his father was reputed to have run out of town, Charley Wade. Sam's hostile relationship with his father had driven him out of Frontera and only since the old man's death has he returned. Now that Mayor Hollis Pogue and the city council plan to name the new courthouse after Buddy Deeds, Sam's old feelings about his father resurface. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

A film that initially appears to be a thriller, something along the lines of "The Silence of the Lambs", but after a while, it changes and you find yourself watching something very similar to the comic book "Scalped". It has a similar energy and tackles similar themes, with the added bonus of a quite interesting case, the outcome of which is quite unexpected, although not exactly disarming.

Lone Star is supposedly one of the movies I should have on my bucket list. But it’s also one of the most boring movies ever; I was scared that I was gonna die of boredom. And I admit that the premise is clear. It introduces you to a white European and compares them to everybody else. The result was supposed to be the fact that we’re all equal, but not everybody in this movie seems to accept that. The rules in this movie are set in stone. On one side, there are racists that would dress up in a Ku Klux Klan robe if they could. And on the other side, there is the rest, fighting for their rights. And somewhere in-between is a Lone Star, walking on a very tense tightrope. A shame. I expected this to have a whole different energy. Based on an interesting story, there’s this absolutely mediocre, even below-average protagonist.
