Tragically Unknown ClassicI am a huge movie fan. I own over 1000 films spanning all genres, black/white, silent, Korean, Japanese, Russian, French, German, Indian, Chinese, obviously American and Canandian cinema as well. I love every genre and I’m a beast at the Leonard Maltin game. This movie is unique in that ever single scene has a wonderful performance and is vital to the story like a well tailored suit there isn’t an extra inch on this film. every actor (and there are many) no matter how small or seemingly insignificant their part maybe absolutely crushes, and even with 20+ characters that are all interconnected and woven into the story beautifully EVERY SCENE MATTERS. There is not one ounce of fat on this movie. On top of one of the most well put together scripts and amazing casting and editing the story is almost indescribable, part love story, part murder mystery, part dissection of US Mexican relations plus a little bit of small town politics and thats leaving off at least 4 other somehow fully fledged out story lines. It defies genre it defies time period its Romeo and Juliet and Sicario and Chinatown all rolled into one. I find something new every time I watch this amazing MUST SEE film..Score: 5/5

In my top 50This is good moviemaking and good storytaking. The live seques between the past and present are masterful. It involves a number of interwoven stories, each of which supports and shows light on the other. This is not an Oscar-level film, but it is one of my favorites simply because of its depth and the fascinating story it tells..Score: 5/5

Français
Sam, shérif du comté d'une ville frontalière du Texas, va tenter de trouver le responsable d'un meurtre commis trente-sept ans auparavant et dont le principal suspect, Charley Wade, ancien shérif à la réputation douteuse, n'est autre que son propre père.

Deutsch
Alles vergeben und vergessen? Der Fund eines ausgebleichten Skeletts läßt die unrühmliche Vergangenheit eines drögen Provinznests auferstehen: Sheriff Deeds bekommt bei seinen Recherchen heraus, dass der Tote der berüchtigte Ex-Sheriff Wade von Frontera ist .

Nederlands
Sam Deeds is de plaatselijke sheriff die op onderzoek moet wanneer er een veertig jaar oud skelet wordt gevonden in de wildernis. Als hij steeds dieper duikt in het duistere verleden van het Texaanse stadje, komt hij ook meer te weten over zijn vader, de bekende sheriff Buddy Deeds die de corrupte Charlie Wade heeft vervangen.

Español
En el desierto de Texas, en un pueblo con numerosos inmigrantes mexicanos, aparece un hombre muerto. Durante la investigación, el sheriff encargado del caso tendrá que enfrentarse con algunos enigmas de su pasado.

Magyar
Egy texasi kisvárosban a seriffnek, Sam Deedsnek kell kiderítenie egy negyven éve a sivatagban rejtôzô titokzatos csontváz kilétét. Sam kénytelen beleásni magát lakóhelye történelmébe, és ahogy mozaikszeruen összeállítja a darabokat, egyre több mindent tud meg saját apjáról is, a legendás Buddy Deedsrôl, aki egykor maga is seriff volt, és aki a korruptságáról messzeföldön híres Charlie Wade után kapta meg ezt a tisztséget. Sam, miközben bejárja a múltat és az ismeretlen áldozat személyazonosságának kiderítésén dolgozik, annyira az események hatása alá kerül, hogy még középiskoláskori nagy szerelmével is feleleveníti a kapcsolatát.

עִבְרִית
בחבל ריו שבטקסס מתגלה גופה. גילוי הגופה והמיסתורין האופפים את זהותה ודרך מותה, מובילים לחשיפת סיפורים מן העבר של העיירה. הסרט חושף, טפח אחר טפח, את המיסתורין שמאחורי כל אחד מתושבי העיירה; תהליך זה מתבצע דרך פלאש בקים אחורה לדורות הקודמים. ביישוב קטן ובו לכולם נדמה שהם מכירים את כולם, סיילס מספר על הזהויות הנסתרות ועל היחסים בין בעלים לנשים וילדים והוריהם שמתגלים מחדש. כדרכו של סיילס הסרט מלא בביקורת חברתית נוקבת כלפי האמריקאים כיום ויחסם לאינדיאנים בעבר.

български език
Филмът започва като наелектризиран криминален разказ за неразрешеното убийство на корумпиран юрист. Но скоро се превръща в нещо много повече от това. Интригуваща сага за сблъсъка на различни култури и тъмните сделки в малък тексаски град. Един вълнуващ поглед към пропастта между родители и деца, и една забранена любов, за която възрастта не е преграда.

Italiano
In un poligono abbandonato nel deserto a sud del Texas vengono trovati un anello massonico, un distintivo da sceriffo e un teschio umano. Sam, lo sceriffo della vicina città, comincia ad indagare e, in un ristorante messicano, si confronta con il sindaco Hollis, il quale non può fare a meno di raccontare una storia alla quale ha assistito tanti anni prima: la storia di un precedente sceriffo, il corrotto e irrascibile Charlie Wade, e del giorno in cui fu allontanato per merito del giovane Buddy, padre di Sam, destinato a sostituirlo come sceriffo e a diventare così amato da tutti, al punto che è imminente l'inaugurazione di una targa a lui dedicata di fronte al palazzo di giustizia. Ma la scoperta del cadavere getta un'ombra sulla cerimonia...

미국 남부 텍사스의 프론테라는 멕시코와 국경을 접하고 있는 마을로 지도층은 백인이지만, 주민의 대부분은 멕시코인과 흑인들로 내적 갈등이 많은 곳이다. 어느날 마을 외곽지역에서 오래된 보안관의 뱃지와 신원을 알 수 없는 해골이 발견되고 부임한지 얼마 안되는 셈 디드가 수사를 맡게 된다. 샘은 프론테라 출신이지만, 고향을 오랫동안 떠나 생활하다 이혼 후 다시 돌아왔다. 수사를 시작한 샘은 우선 시장 홀리스 포그를 만난다. 흘리스는 과거에 버디와 함께 일했었으며, 악명 높은 그들의 동료 촬리 웨이드에 대해 샘에게 자세한 이야기를 해준다. 찰리는 지독한 인종차별 주의자였으며 실제로 흑인과 히스패닉계 주민을 정당방위라는 이유로 여러명 죽인 인물이다. 찰리는 술집과 가게들을 상대로 돈을 뜯고 괴롭히기로 유명한 인물이었는데, 어느날 공금 만불을 훔쳐 달아난 이후로 소식이 끊겼다. 수사에 열중하던 샘은 옛 연인인 필라를 우연히 만나게 된다. 필라는 고급 식당을 운영하는 메르세데스 크루즈의 딸로 학교 선생님인데, 불법침입죄로 경찰서에 잡혀온 골치덩어리 아들을 데리러 왔다가 샘과 마주친다. 필라는 딸과 아들과 살고 있으며, 남편과는 사별한 후 외로운 생활을 하고 있었다. 헤어진 이후 처음 만난 이들이지만, 곧 옛사랑을 느끼게 되고 급격히 가까와지지만, 필라의 어머니 메르세데스는 매우 못마땅해한다. 수사가 진행될수록 샘은 찰리와 그의 아버지 버디, 그리고 현 시장인 홀리스 사이에 일어났던 일들이 홀리스가 설명한 대로가 아님을 직감하게 된다. 현재까지도 이 마을 혹인들에게 가장 인기있는 술집의 주인 오티스도 연관되어 있음 또한 알게된다. 샘은 아버지 버디의 숨은 과거를 찾고자 이흔한 아내 버니를 찾아가 그의 옛 물건들을 뒤지게 되고, 거기서 버디의 오래된 연애편지들을 발견한다. 놀랍게도 버디의 연인은 필라의 어머니인 메르세데스였으며, 필라가 버디의 딸임을 직감하게 된다.
