Rolling Stone 滚石杂志 100分The performances are uncommonly fine...Lone Star isn't built to ride trends. It's built to last. 表演飞一般的好。。。Lone Star不是什么跟风影片，而重在永恒持久。Chicago Sun-Times 芝加哥太阳报 100分This film is a wonder - the best work yet by one of our most original and independent filmmakers - and after it is over, and you begin to think about it, its meanings begin to flower. 这部电影就是奇迹！这是原创和独立制作影片中最好的作品之一。电影结束后，你就会不由自主地开始思考它了，电影蕴藏的意义开始开花生长。Empire 帝国杂志 100分Even one-scene characters are unforgettable, but Sayles really gets under the skin of his struggling-to-be-heroic leads, Sam and Pilar. Long after this summer's crop of action flicks is gone, you'll watch this for the third or fourth time and see fresh material. Outstanding. 即使任何一个场景的角色都令人难忘，但Sayles（导演）真切地抓住了他想表达的主旨，struggling-to-be-heroic的主线， Sam和Pilar。许久之后，今年夏天上映的这些动作片儿会随风流逝无人再会问津。而你会把这部影片看个3,4遍，之后依然会发现新的内涵。杰作！Entertainment Weekly 娱乐周报 83分The biggest problem with Lone Star is that colorful Charley Wade isn't the center of the movie -- it's bland Sam Deeds. Cooper isn't a compelling enough movie star to carry us along some of the film's more languid twists and turns. 影片最大的问题在于，有趣的Charley Wade（坏警察）不是电影的中心，而是乏味的Sam Deeds。Cooper（主演）的名气不够引人注目，很难吸引我们一路跟上影片缓慢的曲折情节。TV Guide 电视指南 80分The film stumbles a bit towards the end (some deeply rooted conflicts are implausibly resolved), but terrific performances from a large cast -- particularly Elizabeth Pena as Sam's childhood sweetheart -- smooth over the rough spots. 电影有些磕磕绊绊地收尾了（一些根深蒂固的冲突不太可信地就化解了），但庞大的演员阵容贡献出的精彩表演（特别是饰演Sam童年心上人的 Elizabeth Pena）缓解了影片一些粗糙的部分。San Francisco Examiner 旧金山考察家报 75分While I was watching "Lone Star," I realized that what makes Sayles a good and socially responsible person - his ability to look at one thing a hundred different ways - is exactly what makes him a muddy filmmaker. 当我看着 "Lone Star" 时，我意识到了到底是什么东西让Sayles成为一个非常好而且有社会责任感的人——他具备用百种方式看待同一事物的能力，而这恰好也使他成为了一位有些模糊的电影制作人。Salon.com 沙龙网 30分Sayles speaks the language of cinematic formula so automatically -- his reunited lovers slow dance to a jukebox in a dark, deserted cafe and wait unannounced outside each other's workplaces when they want to talk -- that he's forgotten that real people don't do this stuff. Sayles讲着他那公式化的电影语言，太机械化啦！比如：重逢的男女主角在空无一人的咖啡馆里跳着慢舞；还有当俩人想和对方谈谈时，就突然去彼此的工作地等着对方。导演忘记了真实的人才不会干这种事情好吧！？
