Colin Bennett The Age (Australia) 06/27/2023
Look behind the familiar facade, the lyrical dissolves and violent flurries of a minor thriller like Macon County Line, and you find a dramatic strength and truth that are not nearly common enough in this genre of cinema. Go to Full Review

Macon County Line begins as a lighthearted lark before growing comparatively darker. Go to Full Review

Macon County Line may not be the worst picture of the year but it will do as a semifinalist. Go to Full Review

What was the secret of the movie's box-office success? Mostly good old sex and violence, a dash of Southern charm, and a heap of injustice. Go to Full Review

08/08/2024 Once as you cross the county line it’s all downhill It’s Louisiana 1954 and two brothers Chris and Wayne are making their way through the south before heading to the Air Force They also travel with a fellow lady named Jenny Sheriff Reed Morgan has a wife and unfortunately she’s been attacked and sexually assaulted by two drifters Morgan comes back thinking Chris and Wayne are responsible so he begins a manhunt for them both It takes an hour and 9 minutes for the plot to actually kick in This whole thing could’ve sped by so much quicker And the ending was just downright terrible See more 04/29/2023 This is a pretty decent movie, well executed, especially in the context of the time when it was made. It’s not a particularly outstanding story, but it isn’t boring either. See more deke p 02/24/2021 Seemed a little amatuerish, but then it was MAX BAER'S first directing, and writing. Made up story of Southern Sheriff stuff. Max playing the 'bad sheriff'. But it made the most profit over small investment for that year. I started to lose interest. Maybe i should pay more attention next time. Wikip categorized it as a (cheap) "DRIVE-IN MOVIE". See more 12/01/2020 It drags in places corny earlier style television shows GA as racist and backwoods justice law enforcement officials Based on a true story but I think the story line here is blah See more 10/09/2020 Average at best. It's a predicable movie that tends to be an pretty sloppy and slow moving. I fell asleep twice while watching it. See more delysid d 09/28/2018 This is a good movie See more Read all reviews
