County Line

Tom wopat (dukes of hazzard !) is sheriff rockwell. Or was. On his last day as sheriff, the local troublemakers start shooting up the town. When a good friend gets shot, rockwell tries to figger out who-dunnit. The music alternates between feel good and suspense, even when they talk about serious things. So much serious music. So many dramatic scenes, even while rockwell is sitting at a red light. More dramatic music. Some good acting, and some not so good acting. Co-stars pat richardson (from tool time). Goes like a hallmark channel movie... some violence, but no swearing. Every scene has a warm, fuzzy feeling, even when nothing is happening. It's okay. The story is quite solid, if kind of silly. Directed by shea sizemore. Has won a bunch of film fest awards.

I think Tom & Jeff could be next gen grumpy old men! I really like this movie. Simple and nothing over sized unexpected happenings.

County Line is well acted- all the major characters are believable in their roles, and the ending will come as a surprise. Violence is not very graphic and is used to promote the storyline and character development- not gratuitous. That seems rare nowadays. As other reviewers say, this can be watched by the whole family- no swearing. It also has something to say about dedication, loyalty and doing the right thing. A little cliche sneaks in, but if you are open to a good storyline and great acting, you'll like this film. Tom Wopat looks "lived in" and not tough guy glamorous, which earns his character credibility.

This movie is very watchable and not at all terrible. But it does have a TV movie vibe and plot. The acting fine, the sound and picture are fine and the dialogue is fine. Nothing innovative here but you care about the characters. The action is not special but it's not boring. So I don't understand the low score but I also dont understand the high scores. I think I saw there are a couple of sequels so I'll check them out if they are no charge. By the way the soundtrack is also decent. Say a Prayer by Geoff Lenox is a nice tune for example. There's really not that much more to say about it but there are worse time wasters than this flick.

This film is very good, actually everything with the Georgia State background story will be just fine. All the main characters in this film were well cast, male and female, old or young, performed so well and very likable. The screenplay is good, interesting dialog, good sound track. The possible heart attack anytime to the voted out sheriff, forced into retirement, then turned half-hearted pig farmer with only three pigs and three chickens, well, was such a wonderful created character, but also hanging up there over my head during the viewing, a hidden tension to keep the good movie going in the right direction.

Not easy to find good film under the weather of too much and too many Marvel's comic super heroes crappy, cliched schlock.
