“Outlaw’s Buckle” (**1/2 out of four) was an intermittently tense and engaging melodrama set inside a Texas jail in which a female cop (Rachel G. Whittle) comes for a visit and actually turns out to be a serial killer on the prowl while a determined and world-weary officer (Thom Hallum) attempts to stop her and save his unit. Story is more than a little reminiscent of “Assault On Precinct 13” and also harks back to former film glories of Sam Peckinpah and Walter Hill but that being said, it’s well-acted and extremely well-captured by cinematographer Anthony Gutierrez and holds your attention. Refreshingly quick and short also, at only 80 minutes.
