When the most wanted man in America surfaces in a small Kentucky town, his violent history -- and a blood-thirsty mob seeking vengeance and a king's ransom -- soon follow. 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+

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

Common Sense Media

Muddled and laughable, this terrible movie lands right in the spittoon with the worst Westerns of all time. Gunslingers is so bad that even Cage cultists are likely to wince at its ineptitudes and bizarre choices.

Rated: 1/5

This movie is a disaster To Watch. Plot is ridiculously inept and laughable and full of predictible clichés. How have actors of this stature being enrolled in this parody? Is the director their best friend’ s néphrétique? Their play is pathetic. Editing is chaotic, special effects probably performed by the local highschool theatre company. Don’t spend your time watching this catastrophe

I only watched the trailer but that looks hilarious. One of those type you kickback have a beer and break out the snacks, roasting it all the way through. kinda like an unintentional Monty Python skit. If you take it as a serious period piece you're gonna feel like a grumpy clown.

It was an interesting plot that was extremely convoluted and rambling. The actors were good, except for Nick Cage. He was ridiculous. I normally am a fan, but his acting was so cringe. He needs to hang and bury the voice and the character and never go there again. They tried to make Jesus jokes and that was stupid too. Save your money

pretty good watch. lots of people shootin' and with heather looking good at 55. scarlett stallone and her deep voice and smokey charm is worth it, she's quite something. the boys you've seen in many things and nick is great as a raspy voiced bible thumper. everybody gets what they deserve. those saying this is bad, just don't like stories, watch this.
