One False Move (1991)
Member Rating:  
Carl Franklin made his directorial bow with the story of three LA drug dealers who, after committing a rather messy murder, hide out in a rural Arkansas town. Assuming that the local "rubes" will offer them little interference, the criminals have not reckoned with sheriff "Hurricane" Dixon (Bill Paxton). Despite the arrogance of the LAPD agents sent to Arkansas to collar the crooks, it is down-home Dixon who puts the final bloody showdown into motion (the fact that the thieves have been falling out throughout the film doesn't hurt things either). Carl Franklin knows where he's going in every frenetic frame of One False Move, and his movie was one of the most acclaimed independent releases of 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Not much more to say. From the first frame to the last, you won't be able to walk way from it. The realism is superb.

    This is one of my top ten favorite movies of all time. The suspense builds to a fantastic climax, not to mention the underlying subplots. I'm not a big fan of Bill Paxton, but he is perfectly cast in this film as the small town sherriff who wants to finish it his way. "One False Move" and "A Simple Plan" make a great double bill!
