Texas, 1875. In a land without justice, where chaos reigns, one legendary man, Leander McNelly (Dylan McDermott), is chosen to lead a group of unlikely heroes. These young men, out-manned and out-gunned, must battle an army of renegade outlaws led by the ruthless John King Fisher (Alfred Molina). Sworn to protect the innocent and the women they love (Rachael Leigh Cook), (Leonor Varela), the Rangers risk their lives to put the wrong things right in their beloved homeland.

Critics Consensus

As far as westerns go, Texas Rangers is strictly mediocre stuff.

Eddie Cockrell

Variety

Large cast is uniformly fine with tongue-twisting, pulpy dialogue, though pic presents only brief flashes of what look to be fully realized characterizations jettisoned at some point during production or post.

A documentary on baseball's Texas Rangers and their last-place season would have been more interesting.

Texas Rangers could have been so much better. It has terrible yet fun cult movie written all over it but as you can imagine, things didn't go according to plan.

Take note, they spent 38 million USD making this movie, and it didn't even get to 800K at the box office. Released in theatres 2001, when Ashton Kutcher was a hype, and finally for streaming in 2016. Texas Rangers is one of those list fillers in the main stream channels' western collection, to see if it can make another few bucks, but really only to continue insulting the genre and those who would know what to do with such a budget.

Dylan McDermott destroys a base and simplistic plot in epic fashion. His acting is on par with Johnny Knoxville.

It may be nothing new but I really liked Dylan McDermott's performance and had fun with it.

Story about the adventures of the Texas rangers, who capture outlaws in this fast paced but cheesy western yarn.
