      Ronnie M This is the worst movie I have ever tried to watch that was not trying to be bad. How you could make this good a story this poor a movie. Utterly Unwatchable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/19/23 Full Review Marc Z This is a really, really low budget Western, but it is not terrible. There are some good elements of it and some good actors and action. The Direction and Cinematography are poor and low quality. The costumes and script are decent. It is a Western, taking place in Arkansas in the years after the Civil War in the United States. It is the story of an extraordinary gun man, who happens to be black. Circumstances have him appointed an official law man. One of the strengths of the movie is Frank Grillo. I always write that regardless of what a movie offers you can always count on Frank Grillo to deliver. This one is no exception. If you like Westerns this is worth checking out with managed expectations. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member In the 21st century you would think Americans would have gotten their s**t together enough by now to be able to depict an accurate portray of their own countries history but sadly,no,race still appears to be an issue with a white minority that would bring back slavery if they could. In reality in the old west 20-30% of cowboys were black! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review jelisije j Probably the worst western you will ever see and the only thing good about this movie is that I actually want another movie based on the first black marshal in American history. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is deeply flawed. It can be made enjoyable by setting out to pick all the mistakes like snap fasteners on Ron Perlman's coat in a period before they were invented. It is a shame more effort could not have been put into the production Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member If I could give no stars I would. Script appalling, acting mediocre. I didn't get to the end of the film. Just couldn't take any more. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Alan Ng Film Threat Inspired by Reeves, but clearly not attempting to recount the real story in any way. It's merely a fun western and should be seen as that. Rated: 7/10 Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Tom Jolliffe Flickering Myth Gyasi's quiet gravitas and the excellent supporting cast bring an engaging story to life. Dec 24, 2019 Full Review Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture Not once throughout the film do the environs, sets or costuming immerse the viewer in the appropriate period, because the film's cinematography makes it all feel like a civil war cosplay captured on a cell phone. Bass Reeves deserves a better movie. Rated: 1/5 Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Reduces Reeves to a cheap action-movie stereotype, just another generic Western lawman gunning down anonymous henchmen in cowboy hats. Rated: C- Dec 17, 2019 Full Review Julian Roman MovieWeb Legendary frontier marshal Bass Reeves gets a shoddy western. Hell on the Border shines a spotlight on the lawman, but fails in almost every other regard. Rated: 2/5 Dec 12, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
