Box Office: $548,629

Synopsis: This Western, set in the 1870s, tells the story of the Texas Rangers, a group of young, aggravated vigilantes (James Van Der Beek, Usher Raymond, Randy Travis, Ashton Kusher, and Robert Patrick)... This Western, set in the 1870s, tells the story of the Texas Rangers, a group of young, aggravated vigilantes (James Van Der Beek, Usher Raymond, Randy Travis, Ashton Kusher, and Robert Patrick) that united to fight against the outlaws who threatened the safety of their families and their neighbors. Ranger Leander McColloy (Dylan McDermott) is the leader of the group, and the one who originally organizes the men to revolt against the violent predators who wreaked havoc across the Texan frontier. As large pools of people converged upon the vortex of the Texas Rangers' territories--new American settlers moving west to claim their own land, Mexicans pouring in over the border, and Native Americans struggling to reclaim their original property--anarchy seemed inevitable. Ranches were broken apart and pillaged by swarming gangs of rowdy cowboys. Only the Texas Rangers could maintain peace where local law enforcement could not. This exciting, historically gauged action drama will delight audiences with a rough-and-tumble story of vigilante victory. [More]

    Just another bad Hollywood western farce with a cast of young Hollywood stars and a go nowhere script.

    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.

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

    A bit of a mess, but it's not unenjoyable and it boasts a kind of absurd sincerity that's actually rather appealing.

    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.

    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.
