Henry B I think that this was the worst western movie ever made; senseless killing of different people and the outlaw should have never got away and collected the reward. A stupid Movie!! 👎👎👎 Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie feels like the world's best film-school final project. [SPOILERS] They must have been paying Eric Roberts by the frame, because no sooner did I think to myself "huh, I guess this is a more serious movie that I was expecting" after recognizing him - than they killed him off! What followed was another 83 minutes of mostly trite cliches. There were a few unexpected turns, and some clever dialogue, but all of the best plot devices were spoiled by the fact that the writer/director team doesn't seem to understand guns or horses. Or wool. Or money. (Why would the protagonist desecrate his brother's body, give himself a tattoo, and run the risk of presenting himself to the town sheriff to collect a $5,000 bounty, but leave a gold bar worth about the same amount laying on the ground next to the body of a stranger?) Even the lovely panoramic shots couldn't disguise the fact that the film was made on a shoestring with just a handful of actors, and the final "twist" at the end feels so much like a punchline that the whole rest of movie ends up coming off as nothing more than a very long setup to a kinda' funny joke. It might seem a little more funny if I could shake the feeling that the joke's on me. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 160918: A bit fun this unique, low budget film. Weak in many ways but not a total waste of time. Quite violent so be prepared. A couple of tips for the production crew. If you're going to be a bandit, you should load your revolver. If you shoot your flask, it shouldn't hold whiskey shortly thereafter. On a positive note, features a unique lever action pistol, a Volcanic I believe, and a pretty good soundtrack. Both lead actors, Orson Ossman and Eric Roberts, and their respective characters, Jasper Mudd and Denton Cartwright, are admirably strong. Twistedly good and I don't regret spending the $9.88 at Walmart. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
