One False Move

CrimeDramaThriller105 min

After a bloody drug deal in Los Angeles turns into multiple murders, three fugitives head for Houston and then a small Arkansas town they hope will hide them. Bill Paxton’s Sheriff Dale Dixon, a local lawman hungry for a major case, gets word from two LAPD detectives that the suspects may be headed his way. Among the trio is Fantasia (Cynda Williams), whose connection to the town makes the manhunt more tangled than the city cops expect. What starts as a big-city case narrows into a close-quarters standoff between desperate criminals and a sheriff no one is taking seriously.
