As brothers face off against one another and bullets tear the town to shreds, this lightning-fast gunslinger makes his enemies pay the ultimate price for their greed. Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage, Stephen Dorff, and Heather Graham star in an action-packed Western thriller about true justice in the wild west.

Gunslingers is not the finest hour for any actor involved, though they run the gamut from competency to simply being too modern in look and manner to convince in a period setting that already feels like some sort of western cosplay weekend.

Only Cage’s most diehard cultists will want to go to bat for this performance, and they could easily struggle to accentuate the positive.

Rated: .5/4

AV Club

A bargain-brand Western that boasts a few middle-aged stars and a collection of clichés that largely predate the talkie.

Rated: D+

Too often feels like a reenactment the likes of which you'd find at a "Western" tourist attraction. The dialogue is cliche, the action beats feel rote and repetitive, and the costumes all scream "Rentals should be kept clean and are due back by 6pm!"

A film so cobbled together it seems like it was churned out under duress.

It reminded me of the ninja movies from the 80s. There was an overlay soundtrack for every punch zipper and box breaking. Nicolas Cage was terrible. Steven Dorf was OK. I really don’t even know what to say about the rest of the movie. Honest to God, I will never get that hour and 43 minutes back.

This is not a movie. It is a cry for help from everyone involved. There are a lot of recognizable faces who have done great work in other projects, but here they look like they showed up for the paycheck and maybe the free craft services. That is the only explanation. Nic Cage plays a Bible-obsessed freak who whisper-screams through every scene like he gargled gravel and found religion in a gas station glory hole. It's not intense. It's not dramatic. It's just bizarre. The acting is stiff. The story is dumb. Not in a fun, so-bad-it's-good kind of way, but in a I-want-my-time-back kind of way. This movie didn't entertain me. It held me hostage.

Watched the whole thing! SMH. When it started we realized the poor quality of the director, editing and acting, It is a type of film you watch and can’t help but pick apart through the whole thing. I am surprised they would put out such a less than desirable movie. Doge a bullet and skip this one.
