Sid Smith Chicago Tribune 02/21/2008
2/4
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. Go to Full Review Los Angeles Times 02/08/2008
2.5/5
Uklanski distances himself from the material at every turn, until it's difficult to distinguish the ironist's wit from the cynic's smirk. Go to Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times 02/08/2008
2.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Brian Holcomb PopMatters 05/29/2008
4/10
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. Go to Full Review Wade Major Boxoffice Magazine 02/11/2008
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. Go to Full Review Sam Sweet L.A. Weekly 02/07/2008
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 12 Success in 1 hour and 34 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Val Kilmer as The Wanted Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 09/27/2020 so bad i watched it twice See more 04/24/2016 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!? See more 12/26/2013 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. See more 05/25/2012 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. See more 02/11/2010 What the hell did I just watch? See more Read all reviews
