Editorial Review:
Starring James Van Der Beek (TV's DAWSON'S CREEK, VARSITY BLUES) and Dylan McDermott (TV's THE PRACTICE) alongside Ashton Kutcher (TV's THAT '70s SHOW) and Usher Raymond (THE FACULTY) ... After the Civil War, Texas is at the mercy of murderous bandits! From the chaos emerges a group of young cowboys summoned to reform the Texas Rangers and restore order! Under the fearless leadership of Leander McNelly (McDermott), the new Rangers find themselves severely outgunned and outgunned, but unmatched for courage and determination. From the director of HALLOWEEN: H20 and featuring Rachael Leigh Cook (SHE'S ALL THAT) and Robert Patrick (SPY KIDS).
Description of Texas Rangers:
If you want to see James Van Der Beek and Ashton Kutcher decked out in cowboy hats and leather chaps, Texas Rangers is the movie for you. Van Der Beek is a young recruit out to avenge his family, who were shot down by bandits; Dylan McDermott is the loose cannon commander of the Texas Rangers unit that's out to track those bandits down. Along for the ride are Kutcher, Usher Raymond, Robert Patrick, Randy Travis, and a host of other good-looking young actors. Rachael Leigh Cook provides some assurance that everything is appropriately heterosexual, though a scene in which Kutcher jumps into a washtub with Van Der Beek may raise some eyebrows. Head bandit Alfred Molina grins with nonchalance as his men gun down innocent bystanders. No one in the cast even attempts to speak with a credible Texas accent, but everyone's hair is exquisitely mussed. --Bret Fetzer
Texas Rangers Reviews:
Good Cast-Interesting Movie 
2009-10-19 - The film brings to the screen the adventures of the Texas Rangers as they try to enforce the law across the Texas-Mexico border.
It is 1875 and a ragtag group of Texas Rangers led by a former preacher is called upon to restore order in light of the presence of a ruthless bandit named Fisher.
Don't look for the movie to come anywhere close to becoming a favorite;
The film incorporates elements of political correctness which have no place in 19th century America. Moreover, Ashton Kutcher, who is a wonderful comic, does not belong in this movie and his character is not taken at all seriously. In addition, the dialogues throughout the film are simply poor and for that the writers are solely to blame.
James Van Der Beek, Dylan McDermott, Alfred Molina, Rachael Leigh Cook, and the rest of the cast carry out their performances well though the acting is nothing extraordinary.
Nevertheless, the setting, the battle sequences, the costumes, and the music are all good.
In a nutshell, it is not a movie you would want to add to your collection, but it might provide for an evening's entertainment. 3.1 Stars
Texas Rangers?

Westerns 
2009-04-03 - Great movie, I love western movies, wish they would make some more, not near enough on the market, it is refreshing to watch a movie without all the cursing, sex & what have you, these have an actual story to them
James Van der Beek fan 
2008-10-02 - Good movie to see for those who are a James Van der Beek fan (star of Dawson's Creek). James does an excellent job in this movie and seems to fit his role perfectly. I'm not a big Dylan McDermott fan but he does a good job as well in this movie. I would definitely recommend this movie to others.
good enough for the big screen
2008-01-10 - the story, characters, actors, and scenery are great!
and the action is some of the best I've seen in ANY western!
this is a must see, that I'm sure you'll want to keep
