The best thing about this half-cocked shoot-em-up is the beautiful, rugged scenery -- and, of course, by that we mean the cast.

Reviews for Texas Rangers
Enough horse-opera clichés to shame the makers of Gunsmoke.

Top CriticRangers aspires to be a classic Western but falls short, despite large doses of bravado and machismo, thunderous shoot 'em ups and stirring symphonic fanfare.

If you like most Western films, you'll probably enjoy Texas Rangers -- it's slightly above average in the genre -- but if you aren't a fan of Westerns, this one certainly won't sway your opinion.

No surprises.

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

Like watching the cast of Beverly Hills 90210 remake The Wild Bunch.
12/05/01
Makes American Outlaws look like a John Ford picture.
12/03/01
The storyline is awfully thin...and even at a running time of around 81 minutes (without credits), the movie does tend to drag in certain sections.
08/01/03
It is easy to see why it took Texas Rangers so long to reach multiplexes. More perplexing is how it got there at all.

The cows have it hard in Texas Rangers (a.k.a. Dude, Where's My Cattle?).
11/30/01
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.

Top CriticPlays as if the script pages had been tossed in the air and randomly assembled.
12/03/01
Just a lame cowboy movie that doesn't warrant your attention. Or mine.

It won't win any prizes, but for fans of old-time Westerns, it may be a pleasant-enough diversion.
12/05/01
Just another bad Hollywood western farce with a cast of young Hollywood stars and a go nowhere script.
04/29/09
Texas Rangers is a generic, gun-toting fable -- a dull, laughable cactus costume drama that has no significant appeal to it other than to boast the empty machismo antics of its leads.
