Sid Smith Chicago Tribune Summer Love is fraught with feverish moods, bold imagination and a devilishly complicated exploration of the genre's iconography. It is also maddeningly paced, often like watching paint dry, albeit paint that's the garish tones of buckets of blood. Rated: 2/4 Feb 21, 2008 Full Review Los Angeles Times Uklanski distances himself from the material at every turn, until it's difficult to distinguish the ironist's wit from the cynic's smirk. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times Summer Love feels more like a haphazard assembly of loose-knit components, jumbled together with obvious affinity for all varieties of a distinctly American genre. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 8, 2008 Full Review Brian Holcomb PopMatters In attempting to create a shock effect of the new within the old, the baby is tossed out with the bathwater. The core pleasures of genre still have to be respected. Rated: 4/10 May 29, 2008 Full Review Wade Major Boxoffice Magazine It's an odd, disjointed, but curiously appealing effort that could attain cult status if only for the fact that it's so incredibly strange. Feb 11, 2008 Full Review Sam Sweet L.A. Weekly By eschewing any attempt at storytelling or character development, a film with all of the Western's fecund imagery and putrid fumes still ends up feeling as flat and distant as a gallery wall.

Audience Member so bad i watched it twice Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Summer Love (Aka Dead Man's Bounty) (2007) ?? Atrocious, smarmy Western about a silent drifter who arrives in greasy town where he is instantly--for no reason--picked on. He causes trouble and has the "law" chase him. You know where this is going. All that's missing is a lot of gratuitous sex with dozens of shots of full-frontal female nudity (Oh, wait. No, check), animal cruelty (check), about 30 or so bloody shootouts (check), and a "poetic" ending (double check). Quite possibly the worst movie ever made involving a horse. One merit: Sleazy bounty hunters with lots of hilariously awful dialogue. Where's Mr. Wayne or Mr. Eastwood when you need them the most!? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok, I'm trying to be honest. Love when good modern Western films come out. Love the genre, the costuming, and weapons. Love the badass characters. This film has them all but it's just plain strange. Almost too strange for me to understand. Will require more viewings to figure it out. Val Kilmer is in the movie but trust me, he doesn't do much and his part could've been played by anyone. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What the.... did i just watch? Give me hot pokers to the eye. This will have to be the worst movie I have seen., Words escape me. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member What the hell did I just watch? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Without a doubt the worse attempt at western of all time. And do not even begin to believe the dribble about it being spaghetti- to try to coax you into watching it. I am Polish and I was embarrased. The acting, the directing, the transitions- beyond terrible. And do not even get me started on Kilmer's so-called part. I never dreamt I would, but I actually burned the copy given to me by a friend, seriously I burned it- so that it had no chance of seeing the inside of another dvd player. It is that bad. In no way, is any of this an exagerration. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
