Lone Star is a wonderful film which got little notice when it came out in 1996. Even though Matthew McConaughey is featured on the cover of the DVD (lt), it was Chris Cooper's and Kris Kristofferson's film. The plot follows a 40-year-old murder and uncovers the racial and interpersonal tensions which exist in a border town in Texas. John Sayles, the director, pulls together the threads of the plots to a dramatic close which reveals unsuspected relationships and complexities. This film is often listed on "overlooked films" list and it deserves viewing.
