Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

“LaRoy, Texas” remains as unpredictable as an overly agitated Texas rattlesnake and has just about as much bite to it.

Rated: 3/4

Robert Daniels

RogerEbert.com

Atkinson’s hilarious feature debut is a barn burner of a western-thriller whose Coen Brothers-inspired nods give life to its meek protagonist.

Rated: 3/4

Guardian

If Atkinson isn’t quite the Coen inheritor he aspires to be, this hectic flurry of schemers, snatchers and low-lifes puts him three-quarters of the way to inventing a new genre: Texan noir farce.

Rated: 3/5

Common Sense Media

LaRoy, Texas is full of Coen brothers-style charm, with its dark humor, absurd interludes, and existential middle-of-nowhere location combined with a solid level of bloody violence and characters you can't help but root for.

A uniformly excellent cast keeps the pace going, right to the inevitably bloody climax.

Ray's a loser that can't see that his wife is cheating on him with his own brother. Enter Steve Kahn with a not funny role and some shooting and you get LaRoy.

Such a let down. Poorly written story, boring and annoying. Don't believe the rest and fall for the 100% like we did. Complete waste of time.

I saw the title listed on airline entertainment options and was drawn in as a fan of Zahn, an actor I’ve enjoyed in his other limited roles and I feel is underrated. Dark comedy is not my typical genre but I just had to see Zahn play this role. I was immediately drawn in by the first scene which sets the mood for the movie and which I very much enjoyed. There are actually a few actors/actresses that I don’t think ever got their dues for a real role and all are great in this one. The comedy is peppered in, much of which is situational. It reminded me a bit of Cohen Brothers and Fargo-type humor. Stuff you laugh at that would be difficult or embarrassing to explain why you found something funny to someone who hadn’t seen it. Not going to be the epic movie of our time but I’m certainly glad I took the chance on it and would gladly watch it again with someone to see what they think.
