LaRoy, Texas

1) LAROY, TEXAS doesn't look like a 2024 Holywood movie and i appreciated it. There are no "messages" here, script didn't obey to non-cinematic guidelines which have nothing to do with the Art of Cinema. This is an artistic creation, a real movie which told me a STORY. I can't take for granted even this nowadays, so i applaud the creators here just for this. 2) Unfortunately, it's flawed. First of all, its duration time. If you want to create a 2 hours movie, you should make it interesting at least, from the beginning to the end. Especially when this is a dark comedy or comedy/drama/crime or something like this. This is not an Ingmar Bergman/Andrei Tarkovsky movie, this is a FARGO-esque. You will lose viewers' attention if you present them a 2 hours slow-paced movie which is kinda sad and miserable at times. 3) Having said that, overall this was not boring neither sad. There were many interesting scenes, pace is getting better in the second half and Steve Zahn's presence made it more enjoyable. The last 40-50 minutes were much more enjoyable overall. Not the most convincing movie of the world, not everything made totally sense but i liked it. Unfortunately, it took to long for the movie to find its rhythm. It's a well acted and well directed movie and i was this close to recommend it but i can't. Still, i cannot NOT recommend it either. Not a MUST WATCH, but enjoyable and watchable.

I enjoyed this movie a lot, even with its fairly convoluted plot. I love the small town feel that was captured perfectly. The pacing was excellent, things move along at a good clip. I admit a certain amount of frustration at the main protagonist's ingrained delusional nature. The plot, though definitely complicated, was not impossibly improbable. The comparisons to Fargo are legit although to think this "style" was pioneered by Fargo would not be accurate. Perfected maybe. There is a lot of grousing about the ending which I don't agree with as real life is not so cut and dried either. If you like this type of film you will like this one.

LaRoy Texas" is a film that, from the very beginning, signals its lack of quality. The opening titles, seemingly an endless barrage of Adobe After Effects creations, appear to have been crafted by novices for production companies and studios that are entirely unfamiliar. This initial sequence should have been my cue to abandon the viewing, but curiosity got the better of me. Unfortunately, my perseverance was not rewarded, as the film plunged into a downward spiral of mediocrity. The movie is a veritable catalog of all things dull and uninspired. Words like "dull," "humdrum," "lifeless," "monotonous," "mundane," "stale," "stodgy," "stuffy," "stupid," "tame," "tedious," "tiresome," "tiring," "trite," and "uninteresting" come to mind with alarming ease. Each scene drags on, contributing to an overall feeling of weariness that is hard to shake off. The storyline is no better, straying far into the realm of the absurd. It is "bizarre," "fantastic," "foolish," "goofy," "impossible," "laughable," "ludicrous," "nonsensical," "outrageous," "preposterous," "silly," "unbelievable," and "wacky." The narrative defies logic and coherence, leading to an ending that is nothing short of an imposition on the audience's patience and intelligence. Throughout this ordeal, my sympathy grew for the actors, who valiantly tried to breathe life into their roles. Despite their efforts, they were thwarted by poor planning, execution, and cinematography. It is a sobering thought to consider what these performers must endure in their profession if they are compelled to accept roles in such disastrously bad projects. "LaRoy Texas" is a stark reminder of the chasm that can exist between intent and execution in filmmaking. It is a cautionary tale for viewers and a lament for the talents wasted in its making. If nothing else, it serves as a benchmark for what constitutes a truly forgettable cinematic experience.

I embarked on this cinematic journey with no expectations, yet I found myself utterly captivated by the sheer brilliance that unfolded before my eyes. This film stands as a testament to the enduring power of neo-noir, a genre that continues to captivate audiences with its gritty realism and exploration of the darkest corners of the human psyche. The opening act, spanning the first 15-20 minutes, might lull you into a sense of complacency, but rest assured, this is merely a prelude to the captivating tapestry that awaits. As the narrative unravels, you'll find yourself ensnared by the richness of the story, its layers peeling back to reveal the complexities of human nature. The film's masterful use of country music serves as a poignant backdrop to the unfolding drama, its melancholic strains perfectly complementing the characters' struggles and inner turmoil. The script's plot twists are executed with impeccable timing and precision, leaving you breathless and eager to unravel the next piece of the puzzle. Steve Zahn, John Magaro, and Megan Stevenson deliver performances that are nothing short of extraordinary. They inhabit their characters with such authenticity and depth that you can't help but empathize with their flawed yet relatable journeys. Without a doubt, this film is a must-see for anyone who appreciates the art of storytelling, particularly those drawn to the dark allure of neo-noir. It's a cinematic experience that will linger long after the credits roll, leaving you pondering the complexities of human nature and the delicate balance between light and darkness.

Fargo was the first masterpiece of this style. I love it. So that's why I love movies like LaroyTexas, a B-grade imitation of a unique style. Is the movie bad? Not really, it's entertaining till it becomes ridiculous. Then again entertaining and ridiculous ending. I kind of like it, but at the same time I think it has more potential than the showed here. First, the cast is great. I mean for a B-grade movie is extremely good. But I'm not sure some of them looked like they're acting in a soap opera. Second, the script is predictable at it's best. Not really great if you have watched similar movies. So, overall if you haven't watched anything from Fargo, I mean series and movie, you're going to enjoy and score this higher than me.
