Summary: Tommy Lee Jones & Diane Lane are really missed here!!!!!!
Review: This is a great follow-up to "Lonesome Dove", it is the last entry in Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" Saga, this one has Woodrow F. Call as a bounty hunter who is hired to go after a young mexican rebel bandit, & along the way faces a perilous journey, James Garner comes close to Jones' Woodrow, but it just isn't the same, Sissy Spacek takes on the character that Diane Lane portryed in "Lonesome Dove", which is hard to accept, seeing that Lorena was a wounded soul in "Lonesome Dove", & is now a headstrong woman, there is a scene where she has a flashback when she was held captive by Blue Duck, a scene not in LD, where we are introduced to another outlaw(Kevin Conway) who it seems takes great pleasure in burning women & children, Lorena is about to be burned, only Blue Duck takes her with him instead, this scene only sets up Conway's outlaw that does eventually get his, the teenage outlaw that Call pursues is as bad as Blue Duck, but not as mean, but elusive, the film is really about Call & his final adventure, Call like Gus suffers a terrible fate towards the end, which does bring closure to this saga,the supporting characters are fun to watch, especially Randy Quaid who specializes in playing crazy off-the-wall characters & does here as well, the western landscape is as good here as in LD, overall a good film & conclusion, but Jones & Lane are really missed, released the same year as "Batman Forever" & "Judge Dredd", Jones' & Lane's summer movies (1995), it would have been nice to see them return here, but for whatever reason they did not, unlike "Dead Man's Walk" where Gus & Call are young 20-somthings, that has David Arquette as Gus, & Johnny Lee Miller as Call, that is believeable, Arquette really made me believe he could be Robert Duvall, just as Miller captures Jones' personality, however it just doesn't really work with "Streets Of Laredo"!

Summary: The Real Sequel to Lonesome Dove.
Review: This is the real, Larry McMurtry written, sequel to Lonesome Dove (not Lonesome Dove II), and it has all of McMurtry's specialities: well-drawn characters, absolutely viscious and unredeemable villains & murderers, and complex protagonists with a hell of a tale to tell.Tommy Lee Jones was the perfect physical embodiment of hard-bitten Texas Ranger Woodrow Call. A small man, ramrod straight with a ferocious temper and will of iron that made him SEEM like a bigger man. But TLJ didn't make this trip for whatever reason. Instead, we have James Garner taking over as Woodrow, and he IS a big man and inately likeable. No matter, Garner is too good an actor not to win you over, and we quickly adjust to him as an older, more tired, laconic, but still mean as hell Woodrow Call. Peaeye is now Sam Shepard and Lorena is Sissy Spacek and she has passed by all her would-be suitors and married the taciturn Ranger, become a school teacher, and together they have 5 children. Peaeye is called out of domesticity by Woodrow to chase down a teenage psychopathic killer, Joey Garza, with a sidetrip to chase down another bad bad man named Mox Mox whose specialty is burning men, women, children & animals alive for the fun of it. And so it begins, with much emphasis on character and wild "characters" and with a casual understanding of the hard lives and brutality of the Texas of that time. If you liked Lonesome Dove, you will like this. The cast changes were made with excellent people stepping into the familiar roles, and you will soon accept them and be caught up in the story. If you didn't like Lonesome Dove, too bad for you, and you definitely will want to skip this.

Summary: Critics corner
Review: This movie was excellent, but it was NOT as good as the origional story, Lonesome Dove. I thought the actors were top notch although it would have been nice to see the origional actors. The story is suspenseful, and kept me guessing. I recommend this movie if you are a Lonesome Dove fan, like myself.
