Critics Consensus

Texas Killing Fields is a competent boilerplate crime thriller, brewing up characters and plots used in better films.

2.0/5.0

A procedural without structure. It's a mood piece with no definable mood. It's a thriller without clear villains or even threats.

The characters will be familiar to fans of police procedural shows and TV movies.

B-

A downbeat but atmospheric police-procedural thriller, that works in parts but not as a whole because of serious plot holes making it incoherent.

The film doesn't really go anywhere or establish any narrative sense, which is problem, since it's ostensibly a police procedural.

I know many people don't like Sam Worthington and I'm one of them. Worthington is trying to prove that he's not the one-dimensional actor that we all think he is.

This is based in true murders of women and girls in the Texas City, Texas area. The two actors playing the actors are very good. I’d recommend it, especially if you are a fan of true crime.

Slower paced at the beginning with some ambiguity; but it does resolve itself. Absorbing and picks up speed. Satisfying resolution. Not a lot of character development but it would have made the movie longer. Could have been more sub plot development as well.

This movie should have been named "Dumb Cops".

With a great cast list, I jumped at this movie with enthusiasm. This was met with a complete plot and some of my favorite actors. The plot is difficult to follow, and some scenes seem completely unnecessary and other. It felt like it needed more details for me to understand the movie better. I wanted to love this film, because of the all-star cast, but at the end of the day I just ended up liking the movie. I give " Texas Killing Fields " a C.

Awful story, terrible acting. What happened to Rule? He just disappeared from the story.
