ONE RANGER is an entertaining enough for a one watch. Thomas Jane is Texas Ranger Alex Tyree who gets involved with British Intelligence after a former IRA terrorist Declan McBride is captured after robbing a bank in Texas. Agent Jennifer Smith (Dominique Tipper) contacts Alex to bring back Declan from Mexico. Things go wrong as Alex and his partner are ambushed while bringing Declan back. His partner is killed and Alex vows to bring Declan to justice which takes him to the UK to work with British Intelligence as Declan is part of a plot to shoot a dirty bomb into a populated area.

It is nice to see Thomas Jane as he sports a mustache that would make Nick Nolte proud. ONE RANGER does vaguely remind me of the EXTREME PREJIDUCE (which stars Nick Nolte). This Neo Western does mix in the spy genre as Texas justice clashes with the needs of British Intelligence.

ON THE HUNT: TRACKING ONE RANGER- a making of featurette about how the movie came together and the production of the movie

Many of the deleted scenes do add additional depth to the characters, but they were gladly cut for pacing.

Also included with the blu-ray is a code to stream and download a copy of the movie

FINAL ANALYSIS: ONE RANGER is entertaining for a standard action movie. It isn't as great as say other Neo Westerns like EXTREME PREJIDUCE, but Thomas Jane makes a believable Texas Ranger in a movie that could have had a little more character depth.
