Tex

Matt Dillon has acted wisely and quite good in this flick. A typical American indie film reflecting local people's stories from '70s-'80s . I expected a deeper snese of realism in here but it is not there. The one I can think of as a better option is Buffalo '66 and it does a really good job there. The very theme of parent-children disturbed relationships has not much depth in this. But looking forward to watch more Matt Dillon films.

Starring a very young Matt Dillon in one of his earliest main roles, "Tex" is a completely by-the-numbers movie. It trudges over cliché after cliché, but it's age and settings sort of let's you forgive it's generic feel. It's core development is a drama of brothers growing up together and looking out for one-another. I liked the movie for it's simplicity and charismatic performances from Dillon and especially Metzler who stood out as the anchor in movie. Conversations were honest and occasionally poignant. One of the better aspects of the movie is it's unmuddied reflection of Southern society and school in the early 80s. In this way it excels. Supporting cast are fairly good including also young Emilio Estevez and Meg Tilly. Overall it didn't surprise me that it was Disney.

This movie was not based in Broken Arrow it was based in Bixby Oklahoma it's a little ways aways from Broken Arrow. I grew up and went to school there and when they are eating in the cafeteria thats the art room this is a very good movie although I don't like the fact that all the Disney movies (with a few exceptions)one or more of the parents are gone. Why is this? Does anyone know? Tex is a good movie and the most of the landmarks that are in the movie are still there in Bixby and that little town is growing very quickly. If anyone has any questions I would love to answer them. I would recommend this movie to anyone living in the Bixby/Tulsa/Mounds area. Thank you

Not bad, but I can't honestly say I enjoyed 'Tex'. It's too forced for my liking. I didn't feel a connection to the characters, nor did I really rate the performances of the cast. The premise isn't super watchable either. All just very meh, to be honest. Matt Dillon is OK in the main role of Tex, though it is safe to say his acting - thankfully - improved as he got older; as seen in 'Wayward Pines'. I can't say any of the other cast members did anything to remember. Not quite good enough, all in all.

Disney Pictures did a pretty good job on this movie. Matt Dillon played a really good Tex McCormick and the other actors and actresses were really good too. The movie was almost like the book except for little differences. The only thing i did not like were the cast members. Now! wait don't get me wrong they all did a wonderful job, but the only one that seemed to fit the description of the character as in the book was Matt Dillon. That dosen't really matter, its the movie not the book. So it should be different,and its a good movie. Just that you can't really rent it anywhere so you will probaly have to buy it. I had to.
