The acting in this movie may be the worst acting I’ve ever seen. Just a terrible production. Don’t waste your time

Texas Heart is an indie suspense film directed by Mark David. The plot concerns a man on the run who ends up in a small Texas town and ultimately finds an opportunity for personal redemption while he is there. I enjoy indie films like this that tell a unique story, this one about people in small town USA. There are a few recognizable actors, which is always fun, and some solid performances by others who I'm not as familiar with. If you're looking for an original indie film to watch tonight, maybe one with (Texas) heart, then I'd recommend checking out Texas Heart!

I loved this movie because it combines the charms and quirks of indie cinema with the intelligent, fine-tuned script of a John Grisham-style drama. This is the type of movie that a decade or two would have been picked up by Cinemax or Showtime but now is increasingly migrating to outlets like Amazon. Effectively balances, drama, humor, small town observation and thriller elements with Erik Fellows anchoring a strong ensemble. The film is propelled by a strong sense of purpose and an underdog, chip-on-its-shoulder determination to prove that it can tell a solid, suspenseful story on a smaller budget.

Absolutely terrible movie. The acting, across the board, was awful. The stereotyped dialogue was more fitting a parody. The plot had one hole after another. There is nothing to recommend this movie.

Erik Fellows, Cam Dabrowski were quite good. Truly heart-warming and very positive. Loved the rural settings. Well done.

This Texan crime drama wears its heart so high on its sleeve that light bruising is inevitable.
