Synopsis
African-American director Carl Franklin's ONE FALSE MOVE presents itself as a crime thriller, but upon deeper inspection reveals itself to be a thought-provoking drama concerning racism and racial identity. After stealing a large stash of cocaine and brutally murdering several people in the process, two Los Angeles outlaws--the intelligent Pludo (Michael Beach), an African-American, and the psychopathic redneck Ray (Billy Bob Thornton)--hit the road with Ray's biracial girlfriend Fantasia (Cynda Williams). Thinking that the killers might be headed to Ray and Fantasia's hometown of Star City, Arkansas, two L.A.P.D. detectives travel there to await their arrival. They're greeted by "Hurricane" Dixon (Bill Paxton), the town's energetic police chief, who looks up to them as if they're superheroes. When Pludo and Ray stop in Texas to sell their drugs, Fantasia continues on alone to Star City where she intends to reunite with her 5-year-old son. Once there, Hurricane tracks her down and she challenges him to confront the secret of their shared past, jeopardizing his marriage and career in the process. By the time Ray and Pludo arrive, a showdown forces Hurricane to draw his gun for the first time in his life. Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson's intelligent script makes ONE FALSE MOVE a superior and complex drama that works on many levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars One brillant movie, 30 Jun 2001
One False Move - DVD

As soon as i got a DVD player, this was the first DVD i went out and brought. Having seen the film (from IRS Media) before i knew it was an essential purchase which would stand up to repeat viewing.

The Director's commentary is very listenable and provides insight into the production and thinking behind several key scenes. It is amazing to think this movie was made for only $2m US.

The shocking murder scene 5 minutes in, is controversal, and nearly made me switch off first time round, but on repeat viewing (and with Franklin's reasoning from the commentory) it becomes more an essential part of the story rather than just another gross-out/shock attempt.

Billy Bob Thornton's screenplay is superb, as is his acting (and that of his co-stars including Michael Beech and Bill Paxton), which helps us identify, if not quite like the charactor 'Ray'.

The haunting climax aided by a well used blues soundtrack is also worthy of specific recognition, but in short this movie will not disapoint any audience appreciating an intersting story.

Best watched while eating alfafa and black eyed peas on prime numbered days of any month begining with the letter 'J' or 'M'.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Great Film!, 17 Oct 2001
By neoninja007@aol.com (Greenock Scotland) - See all my reviews
One False Move is basically a modern day remake of High Noon wich I feel is just as good if not better than the afformentioned film. The western theme of the movie is ever present with small time hick sherrif Bill Paxton lying in wait for the drug dealing physcos murderers.The direction is very assured from debut boy Carl Franklin and the performances are really affecting, especially Bill Paxton. The scene in which Paxton's dreams of becoming a big city cop are crushed by the two FBI agents is haunting as you see all of Paxtons emotion drain from his face. I regard this scene as a classic and Bill Paxton has never been better.
