Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Based on a tough and unsparing novel about the nature of racism by Pete Dexter, this TV movie offers strong performances but ultimately can't match the book's power. Dennis Hopper plays Paris Trout, a cruel, angry Southerner who thinks he still lives in the days when white men killed blacks with impunity. So, in pursuit of a debtor, he shoots the man's young sister and mother when they get in his way, assuming the law will forgive him. Instead, modern justice puts him on trial and he winds up with a lawyer (Ed Harris) who truly disdains his client. Moreover, as the lawyer works on the case, he finds himself becoming romantically involved with Paris's abused wife (Barbara Hershey). Harris has a look of suffering that is affecting, while Hershey simmers with both passion and resentment--and Hopper embodies the pure evil of unredeemable bigotry. --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars Hopper does it again, June 4, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paris Trout (DVD)
I must state that I am a avid fan of Dennis Hopper. Which probably explains my love of this film-it's a reprisal of my favorite Hopper-the menacing, frightfully sinister one-much like his role in "Blue Velvet" (the only saving grace that film, in my opinion). If you're not a big fan of his, then I, quite honestly, don't recommend "Paris Trout." Others might find it or 'too depressing' or even 'unsettling." I tend to enjoy movies that that masses either find too odd or not uplifting enough. This is a movie about a man who doesn't adhere to societal mores in the deep south and how that affects those who are unfortunate enough to cross his path. If you're looking for a happy ending, then look elsewhere, because you won't find it here.

5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful film, July 19, 2007

This review is from: Paris Trout (DVD)
This Dennis Hopper film has not received the attention it deserves. Classic performance by Hopper at his most menacing. Barbara Hershey and Ed Harris are also excellent in this powerful drama! If you are a Hopper fan, you'll definitely enjoy his character portrayal.
