Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Interesting, original concept
Review: An interesting, original movie based on reality. Screenwriter McGlynn wrote his script after doing much research into American gypses of the south.

McGlynn's Nicholl Fellowship award-winning script had tremendous potential, which director Jack Green does not entirely live up to, but it is still an enjoyable movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Another unique, offbeat Paxton movie.
Review: Ever since ONE FALSE MOVE (which was excellent) Paxton has come up with some very interesting roles. He's the type of actor who can slip by you on how deep his talent runs. Paxton's movies always lead to such gut-wrenching violence. This one has the nail-biting climax at the end. It was a little slow in the beginning but it progressed nicely. The best line was "you look people in the eye and lie to them but make sure you believe the lie yourself before you tell it." Juliana Margulies did a good job in this as well. Overall it was enjoyable.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Well Done Flick
Review: I picked up this title, solely based on the cast. And they do not disappoint you. Very strong acting, and a tidy little story line, keeps this movie well paced. A great little sleeper. Bill Paxton is amazing. If you him enjoyed 'One Fasle Move', this film takes his acting back to those days. So pick it up, and enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent

Love you all... Bill Paxton...

Summary: An Excellent and Underexposed Film
Review: Traveller takes on the subject of the eponymous groups of ethnic Irish con artists (there are also Scottish and English counterparts)of the Southeastern, Central and Southern United States with considerable (but not complete) authenticity. These groups typically fall short of the 'big cons' described in The Sting and some other con artist films, and instead concentrate on selling defective trailers and doing "homers" or construction and driveway repair scams. What the film does best with its fine cast of perfomers (even Mark Wahlberg, a vastly overrated actor does a good job playing himself in a role where it fits) is give an insight into the social milieu of the Travelers. This which forms a culture much like that of gypsies, which few Americans realize exists among peoples who came here from the British isles. Bill Paxton does his usual fine job in an understated role and my only criticism is that the film is just a bit quick and incomplete in providing a resolution of the issues. When Traveller was released it wasn't pushed very hard or circulated very widely and, as a result, few people were aware of it. This was an injustice, because it is far above the norm of Hollywood productions.
