LAROY, TEXAS: 2024 ((Prime rental for $1.99) This film should be a neo-noir treat for crime thriller fans. If you are looking for something different and entertaining, I would describe LaRoy Texas as a crime thriller comedy. When Ray discovers that his wife is cheating on him, he decides he's going to kill himself. His plans suddenly change when a stranger mistakes him for a low-rent hitman and he is given an envelope of cash. Along with his P.I. friend Skip (Steve Zahn), he must escape the actual hitman to make it out of La Roy alive. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes earned the movie an impressive 100%. Audience score on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter was 65%. The film sometimes ventures into the absurd, Steve Zahn absolutely shines as an over-confident but likeable private detective determined to solve a case that he wasn't even hired for. La Roy,Texas is a showcase for all of the characters that inhabit this fictional town. The director clearly idolizes the Cohen brothers. Barbara and I enjoyed the film, but for us it didn’t quite reach the A range. GRADE B
