97 Brooks (2002)
Good First Time Effort
I thought this movie was fun and interesting. It has great tongue in cheek humor that not everyone will understand or appreciate. I thought it told a uniquely twisted story that not many people would have the nerve to make. Sure you can tell it's low budget, but just getting a movie made, any movie - is a great feat. If you're willing to give small movies a chance, see this one if you can. Thankfully, it DID manage to make it out of Oklahoma - I saw it in San Francisco.
A Matter of Justice (1993)
Decent, but cliched movie
I do take exception to the portrayal of Ada, Oklahoma in this movie. Since I happen to be from there, I felt it necessary to defend my hometown. I'm not sure where the Ada scenes were actually shot. It certainly wasn't in Ada. Ada is not so small a town that a posse of rednecks in pick-up trucks would run you out of it to "protect one of their own" - as was stated in this movie. To my knowledge that has never happened in Ada. Ada is also not so small a town that everyone knows everyone else. It is not a town of 500 people, it's a town of about 17,000 and it has a state university. I felt this movie painted an unfair portrait to anyone who doesn't know Ada and has never been there, as well as the state of Oklahoma for that matter.
