DVD Synopsis
Carl Franklin made his directorial bow with the story of three LA drug dealers who, after committing a rather messy murder, hide out in a rural Arkansas town. Assuming that the local "rubes" will offer them little interference, the criminals have not reckoned with sheriff "Hurricane" Dixon (Bill Paxton). Despite the arrogance of the LAPD agents sent to Arkansas to collar the crooks, it is down-home Dixon who puts the final bloody showdown into motion (the fact that the thieves have been falling out throughout the film doesn't hurt things either). Carl Franklin knows where he's going in every frenetic frame of One False Move, and his movie was one of the most acclaimed independent releases of 1991. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD
Carl Franklin's superb crime drama One False Move comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen 1.85:1 image preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1 and is preferable to the standard full-frame 1.33:1 transfer. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround, while Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. Subtitles are accessible in those three languages as well. The highlight of the supplemental materials is a commentary track by the director. A theatrical trailer rounds out this fine package for an underrated film that is ripe for rediscovery, something that may happen thanks to this DVD release. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
