About this product

Product Information

Sheriff Buddy Deeds (Matthew McConaughey) is a legend in the Texas border town of Frontera, the archetypical hero who supposedly saved the town from corruption. The discovery of a 40-year-old murder, however, threatens to tarnish Deeds's reputation and upset a fragile community riven between whites, Latinos, and blacks. LONE STAR follows the murder investigation through the lives of several characters, including the Latina schoolteacher, Pilar (Elizabeth Peńa); the African American colonel, Delmore (Joe Morton); and Deeds's estranged son, Sam (Chris Cooper), who is the town's current sheriff. At times recalling the structure of CITIZEN KANE, LONE STAR presents many different views on the morally ambiguous character of Buddy Deeds. However, the film is primarily about how Frontera's residents deal with the complex, often violent history they have inherited and the borders they must cross to live in peace. As with his earlier film, CITY OF HOPE, director John Sayles juggles complex race and class issues with ease and shows that the political is often the personal.

Enjoyable Movie
I had never seen this movie prior to this purchase. I am pleased I bought same. The DVD arrived as advertised, was very entertaining and had a little twist at the end.

Everything in the film was great
The film is first rate on every level. One critic said it right when he said he had only one lament, not a criticism because the film is PERFECT. His lament was, the character of Buddy Deeds was done so well, he wished the character had more screen time. A GREAT film

Good buy!
Never remember hearing or seeing this movie. Matthew McCaunehey was so young! Good story and note of Chris Cooper as sheriff was so understated. Was a real surprise. Dvd in excellent condition. Thanks.

Good title; name of a bar.
Lone Star is one of those sleeper movies that don't get much attention but stay around for years. We had many discussions about the characters and definitely debates over the ending. It is a keeper

Multi-generational issues in a Texas border town. A who-done it murder mystery in the context of changing ethnic identity population over time.
A quality viewing. Realistic socio-economic issues living in a Texas border-town. Probing & stylistic of how a town's history influences its future.
