 One False Move (1991)
As news of Ray and Pluto filters through it seems that their preparations aren't in vain, as long as the killers actually make it to Arkansas (given their lethal and amoral behaviour that's debatable).

ONE FALSE MOVE speaks with a clear, witty, entirely focused voice.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Boobytrap: One False Move and...
Boobytrap is obviously a clever name for a band comprised entirely of attractive women, and it's almost a shame that this band wears that moniker; it functions as a distraction from their gimmick-free songs.
The songwriting helps, too: midtempo pop gem "Over and Under" has enough pep to make you annoyingly bouncy, and "Someone to Blame"'s chorus is almost effortlessly catchy -- proof that sometimes an entire song can be built on nothing but a solid hook.
As this is Boobytrap's debut, we can probably figure on exponential growth from these ladies.

 Quick Reviews: One False Move   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
A trio of thieves (Billy Bob Thornton, Cynda Williams, Michael Beach) commit a multiple homicide in Los Angeles and hit the road for a small midwest town, where a local police chief (Bill Paxton) with an itch for the big time waits to nab them.
Directed by Carl Franklin and co-written by Thornton and Tom Epperson, One False Move begins as a promising suspense-thriller, but soon gives way to slow-burn drama as the secrets and lies of the leading characters are gradually uncovered.
Paxton is excellent as the unsophisticated backwater cop who will do anything to get that one big arrest, and Williams, who finds herself caught between Paxton and her cohorts, is also compelling.

"One False Move" is a lost classic that is great films on many levels, acting, screenplay, direction, mood, etc. But what makes it really special is its authenticity.

 One False Move
There are some interesting and creative plot twists as the film proceeds, but One False Move primarily rises above the usual police genre fare and evolves into an excellent character study made more intense with its format of switching points of view, primarily between Fantasia and Hurricane.
Also effectively contributing to the relentless intensity of One False Move is director Carl Franklin.
One False Move was never designed to be a feel good, multi-plex friendly blockbuster, but it does deserve to be picked up from the rental stores from people who enjoy watching a well made film.

This is my second Coben book, and whilst I would say his novel Tell No One is better than this book, One False Move also keeps you interested until the final page.
While having read only three of the other six to this point, it is not possible to say with certainty that this one is the best of all seven.
But "One False Move" has more in-depth personal interactions than the others that I have read, drawing the reader a little closer to Myron than is sometimes the case.

 Movie Info for One False Move on MSN Movies
Carl Franklin made his directorial bow with the story of three LA drug dealers who, after committing a rather messy murder, hide out in a rural Arkansas town.
Despite the arrogance of the LAPD agents sent to Arkansas to collar the crooks, it is down-home Dixon who puts the final bloody showdown into motion (the fact that the thieves have been falling out throughout the film doesn't hurt things either).
Carl Franklin knows where he's going in every frenetic frame of One False Move, and his movie was one of the most acclaimed independent releases of 1991.

 CRIME AS TRAGEDY: LIGHT SLEEPER, ONE FALSE MOVE
Two such examples in 1992 were Paul Schrader's LIGHT SLEEPER and Carl Franklin's ONE FALSE MOVE.
Though Schrader has directed many of his own films, he's still probably most famous for writing Martin Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER, his tour of New York's mean streets.
And unlike Travis Bickle, who thought society was sick and he was the one to restore it, LaTour sees the sickness may really be in himself.
