Past lives. Dead outlaws. Warm beer. All these await Charley Stone in the afterlife -- and life after death ain't quite what he expected. Charley is reunited with two old friends -- a rifleman named Jake and a philosophizing barkeep, Cole -- as well as a band of ruthless enemies from lives past. Somewhere in the harsh drylands lie the keys to Charley's forgotten past -- a troubled former life as Ben Kane, a Texas Ranger whose ruthless justice sent many outlaws to Hell long ago. Part action movie, part philosophical musing, Hell is Texas is a gothic western that redefines the ghost story -- a harsh tale of redemption, rediscovery, and revenge from beyond the grave.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
The sparks of a dangerous conspiracy ignite a mystery in this sequel based on the mysteries of Sherlock Holmes.
So with the recent (rightful) public apologies to Britney from comedians and media for trashing her image in the 2000s, perhaps some people should also give Crossroads the fair chance it deserves. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that is fine. Personally, I will take my girl Britney and her movie, over the next testosterone "Dude Flick" any day.
