nick s The acting was a little hit and miss. The biggest issue I had with this movie was storytelling. The court scene felt like it was written by someone who had little to do with court systems. A lot of action scenes felt a bit hokey, bordering on silly. I think the director needed to make things feel more grounded to match the tone of the movie. However, for a low budget Indy it was a good effort. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Bruce M Undeveloped characters, odd scenes that just don’t work, bad acting, and worse dialog. Reminds me of a 1980’s made-for-TV movie – but worse. Hard pass. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Jeremy A Not bad. Not my fav. The main actor's acting is atrocious sometimes. By the end I wanted it to be over. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Ronald H The best thing for me about "Texas Cotton" is that it introduced me to George Hardy, an actor who, I read, had appeared in the worst movie of all time, "Troll 2" (1990). Further investigation led me to a documentary about "Troll 2" called "Best Worst Movie," which is fabulous! I always thought Ed Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" was universally considered the worst movie ever, but apparently "Troll 2" has taken the title. Having seen the documentary, I can't wait to watch the movie itself. But I digress. "Texas Cotton" is pretty awful. There is actually a decent story here—the Coen Brothers could have had fun with it---but the bad acting, insipid dialogue, and general ineptitude just dump the whole thing down the toilet. There are enough humorous bits to make you wonder if it's a satire. But I doubt that. Or if it is a satire, it's about on the level of the old TV show "Green Acres." A small Texas town called LaCoste is experiencing a plague on its cotton crops, which are its life blood. A stranger has come to town and is caught trespassing on someone's farm with barrels of stuff that he's spraying on the crops. It turns out to be paraquat, a banned chemical that kills everything it comes in contact with. The shady town mayor has him arrested and put on trial. But things are not what they seem. The town cop (Hardy) does some digging and determines that the man is innocent, and he was framed by some evildoers and thought he was spraying fertilizer. I won't elaborate any further, other than to say that apparently in Texas, a man can be tried without a defense attorney! There's just something fun about bad movies. This one is not epically bad, but it's bad enough to watch with a smirk and some popcorn. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Audience Member It would rate higher if it was marketed as a comedy. It tries to be a poignant story but it comes off as a spoof of Texas law and a Texas version of Boss Hogg and the Dukes of Hazzard. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Mildly amusing parody that takes direct aim at the genre of "Lawman discovers big local conspiracy that no one else can see, and while the townspeople think he may be crazy, he must unravel the mystery on his own". The director and screen writer did a fairly comprehensive job of poking fun at this genre. Some interesting acting from the cast. Most notable was Tiffany Shepis (Chainsaw Cheerleaders fame) as Deputy Boozer. The film is delightfully low budget.
