One False Move (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Directed by: Carl Franklin

Description

A small-town police chief (Bill Paxton) hiding an explosive secret. A pair of ruthless drug dealers (coscreenwriter Billy Bob Thornton and Michael Beach) leaving a bloody trail as they drive from Los Angeles to Arkansas. And an enigmatic woman (Cynda Williams) caught between them. The way these desperate lives collide becomes a masterclass in slow-burn tension under the nuanced direction of Carl Franklin.

Traveling a crooked road across some of America’s most fraught divisions—urban and rural, Black and white—One False Move takes familiar noir elements and infuses them with wrenching emotional depth, resulting in one of the most haunting crime dramas of the 1990s.
