SunnyHello Nice effects though.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Bob_the_Hobo I don't know how this even got on air. "Lone Star" is a big, dumb mess that in my opinion failed miserably. The acting is horribly bad, the script is dumb and does nothing to keep my interest, and the plot is overdone and uninteresting. Chalk up another failed fall show.James Wolk plays a Texas con man who leads a double life - meaning he has one wife and one girlfriend, and he's two people. I forgot the names and confused the characters for most of the episode so pardon me for not giving you the whole scoop.Wolk is awful, he seems to think that a wink and a charm will stand for anything. His character is the absolutely typical con man; suave, dry, careless, smart. He's the boring stereotype. The women who play his wife/girlfriend are just as bad. Even Jon Voight shows his declining quality as an actor. David Keith seems to be the only one who cares in this series, he makes do with what he has.Don't expect to get anything out of "Lone Star".
Sammie Portman I really enjoyed the pilot, and I hope the network won't pull it until its had a chance to gel and mature. I think we'll see it come together nicely in the next few episodes. The story is cute, has loads of potential for really great Uh Oh moments and I think that now they won't need to cram quite so much information in the future episodes, so it will feel less hectic and more put together.The leading man has just the right amount of charm and charisma to pull off the scams and just the right amount of heart to regret it. I actually want to see just how he is going to pull himself out of this mess. Both his wives are sweet and you like them equally for different reasons- and while its awful that he's married to both of them and you should hate him for it, its clear he loves them both, too, which makes you not hate him.All and all, it beats another cop show and if they stay away from trying to recreate Dallas, then I think they have a series that could stick around for a long time.
enemari The characters in this series are so well picked out and I love the main character(Bob). You can see that everybody got along very well and you can see that in the series as well and it's always nice to see that. The storyline is different and makes you curious what will he do next, living 2 lives is pretty intense, specially when his father is also a con and never has lived another kind of life. I love "Lone star" and I hope it will only get better and hopefully many people agree with me, so this series could have a second season as well. Keeping my fingers crossed for this one.
intelearts If Lone Star can avoid becoming repetitive and soapy then it might be on to something good. Like The Riches last year it has the simple idea of a con man, Robert Allen (Played with charm to the fore by James Wolk), who discovers life is richer without crime when offered an executive job in a Texas mega-oil industry.Not only is he a con man, his father is too, then to sweeten the plot there's there's the two women in Drew's life.All in all, this was pretty good stuff: but the question is, is there is enough here to make you wonder how it's going to work out? I think so - and more than that I want to see how it's going to work out - can he be the executive or will he opt for the simple life in Midland, r will his father tire of it all, and there's bound to be other spanners in the works - it's good stuff, folks.Anyways, we did really enjoy the first episode, but the viewing figures of 4.1 million don't bode well. It is a lot more interesting than just junk TV and if you like drama I'd definitely say it's worth catching an episode....
