Kris Kristofferson - DVD "Lone Star"

John Sayles' "Lone Star" begins as a riveting whodunit about the unsolved murder of a corrupt lawman. Soon it becomes much more. The intriguing saga of clashing cultures and dirty dealings in a Texas border town. A moving look at parents and children at odds and the passions of forbidden love across generations.

"Lone Star" (an Academy Award nominee for its screenplay) takes on the head complexity of a page turner novel as its multi layered plot unfolds, showcaasing Sayles' gift for assembling the best ensemble casts. Chris Cooper, Matthew McConaughey, Kris Kristofferson, Elizabeth Pena, Joe Morton, Frances McDormand and more give rich performances. It's "a great movie with staying power," Leah Rozen of "People" wrote, "a journey well worth taking."
