"Big Kill" plays on the screen for a little more than two hours. But at best it contains maybe 30 minutes of story.

Rated: 1.5/4

Variety

Scott Martin's enjoyably retro Western should please genre fans eager for a wild ride.

Los Angeles Times

Those timeless New Mexico backdrops may lend the production its desired authenticity, but all those structural wide-open spaces stop "Big Kill" dead in its tedious tracks.

Film Threat

Aside from being full of holes for one, the plot concludes with a resolution that's both anticlimactic and predictable. Additionally, the film also has several underdeveloped subplots...

Rated: 2/10

Walter Chaw

Film Freak Central

Played for cool and, when that fails, played for laughs, Big Kill is desperate to find a reason to exist beyond playing expensive dress-up and make-believe.

Rated: 1/4

One Guy's Opinion

An amateurish attempt to recycle old Hollywood clichés...John Ford mimicked by inept wannabes.

Rated: C-

Characters, actors are examples of second rate quality. Sluggish script, Supporting cast dragging in energy, focus. After viewing 100+ good westerns, hard not to compare, have reasonable expectations. Big Kill comes across as 'already kilt!'

For a $3.00 rental I wasn't expecting too much. I found it a bit of harmless fun with some clever little one liners.

Big kill isn’t it the worst Western you’ll see but it’s far from the best. Another words it’s a pretty average Western. Locations and the town are nice in the movie does have some very notable actors. But at two hours long the movie drags and really need to have 30 minutes cut out of it. There’s also some subplots that don’t really go anywhere. If you like westerns it’s an OK watch that should pass some time but there’s nothing here that’s very memorable.

For a low budget film, they did a great job. I love this movie and have watched it multiple times.
