The best thing about this half-cocked shoot-em-up is the beautiful, rugged scenery -- and, of course, by that we mean the cast.

Reviews for Texas Rangers
Enough horse-opera clichés to shame the makers of Gunsmoke.
12/01/01
Top CriticRangers aspires to be a classic Western but falls short, despite large doses of bravado and machismo, thunderous shoot 'em ups and stirring symphonic fanfare.
11/30/01
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.
04/27/02
No surprises.
03/29/02
A documentary on baseball's Texas Rangers and their last-place season would have been more interesting.
03/07/07
Top CriticLike watching the cast of Beverly Hills 90210 remake The Wild Bunch.
12/05/01
Makes American Outlaws look like a John Ford picture.
12/03/01
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.
08/01/03
It is easy to see why it took Texas Rangers so long to reach multiplexes. More perplexing is how it got there at all.
12/01/01
The cows have it hard in Texas Rangers (a.k.a. Dude, Where's My Cattle?).
11/30/01
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.
10/18/08
Plays as if the script pages had been tossed in the air and randomly assembled.
12/03/01
Top CriticJust a lame cowboy movie that doesn't warrant your attention. Or mine.

Top CriticNo review available.
07/24/05
It won't win any prizes, but for fans of old-time Westerns, it may be a pleasant-enough diversion.
12/05/01
Just another bad Hollywood western farce with a cast of young Hollywood stars and a go nowhere script.
04/29/09
Texas Rangers is a generic, gun-toting fable -- a dull, laughable cactus costume drama that has no significant appeal to it other than to boast the empty machismo antics of its leads.
