Chris Cooper, although in a stoic role, was brilliant as the sheriff and son of a dead popular sheriff, in a small Texas border town.
A very underrated movie IMHO.

1. I'm a teacher, and if Sam Deeds were waiting for ME in the parking lot ...
... there wouldn't be any papers getting marked that evening, you can bet!

Beautifully-done film, and one of the best endings ever. It made me want to see more of Sayles's work (which I didn't even know about until a couple of years ago).

I donated a DVD copy to the local library last year, and they really appreciated it -- it's either been out or on hold, ever since then.

3. Sayles films have great ensemble casts.
Did anyone else see The Brother from Another Planet. Quite surprising, quirky, and very memorable.

And it featured another Sayles regular, Joe Morton.


And don't forget Elizabeth Pena.
