The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

While it has its faults, there's probably just enough action in "Lone Star Law Men" to make it watchable. The story has Tom Keene working undercover in an attempt to break up a gang of crooks who have been running the town in their own way. Keene is joined by Frank Yaconelli in a comic sidekick role (in which he is sometimes amusing, but often distracting), and young Sugar Dawn, who gets a couple of good moments as a helpful little girl. The story is fairly predictable, but has just enough going on to hold your interest most of the time. Keene works all right in a lead role, but he lacks the presence to make his movies really memorable. It's a mixed bag, and only of interest to those who like old westerns.
