Jesse James: Lawman (2015) Reviews

• Not even a good Saturday afternoon rain out movie

  pipelinerer2015-09-10

  I love Westerns & actually almost any genre of B-Movies on a Saturday rain out when I am not on my horses but.. "NO". This movie did have two good actors in it but once I saw the "YOUNG JESSIE" I was wanting to see more of Kevin & Fonda during the movie, they were the only two who could have carried this story but were simply not utilized correctly & very little. So again even at a worse case scenario I expected a good rainy Saturday movie when I saw their names. The story line seemed good on paper for a good B-Movie but couldn't pan out on screen. Even the action scenes were hard to watch as the actors didn't seem to be tough enough to play the parts of the real life tough guys they were trying to portray. Again Kevin or Fonda should have been used more. I wouldn't go out & say I want my 77.min of life back but this video will never make it to my Western collection I have amassed.

• What were they thinking ?

  Having enjoyed Kevin Sorbo's previous forays into the western genre, I settled in last night for what I hoped would be an enjoyable viewing of this latest release. Suffice to say that it was not the experience I had anticipated. This film has the look of a film student's first attempt to create something in his back yard. There are only 2 performers of note present (Sorbo and Peter Fonda)and the remainder of the cast could literally have been picked off the street with equal , perhaps even superior, results. The acting is atrocious. The fight scenes (both fistfights and gunfights)are perhaps the worst that I have ever viewed in film. The film gives the impression that it had a budget of $10.00 at most. One would have hoped that the presence of Sorbo and Fonda would have elevated this somewhat from the dismal effort that it is. Unfortunately, the film has the opposite effect. The surroundings are so hopeless that the 2 "stars" are dragged into the quicksand that is this film. Sorbo is easily the highlight of the film (even in one of his weaker performances) though he is far from good. Why in the world he and Fonda lent their efforts and names to this mess I have no idea. Send your kids out to film themselves playing "cowboys" and watch the results. You will see a finer cinematic effort when you do than this film provides.

  This has got to be without a doubt the worst film i have ever watched, i gave up halfway through, the storyline is basic to say the least and the quality of the filming and acting look amateur at best, this to me can only be an attempt to winkle money out of viewers by putting the minimum effort... I'm still stunned that someone has actually released such rubbish for public viewing, its actually quite cringe worthy watching it. I wish i could find something positive to say about this film but I'm afraid i can't. The film is slow, Jesse looks like a nerd with stick on ginger sideburns, he clearly has not been schooled in horse riding and it shows, even the costumes are modern with modern wax jackets??? i mean what were they thinking? i would love to know the budget for this film, maybe £100 for the camcorder?? and a donation to the wild west theme park set they hired!!

• Utterly Dreadful

  This is the worst movie I have ever seen. It's not even Z grade. The acting in terrible, the action is feeble, the costumes are ridiculous, nobody can ride a horse properly. The gunfights look like the stood there shouting "bang!" when they pulled the trigger. Fonda never leaves the room he's in and delivers his lines like he has never acted in his life. Sorbo looks like he just isn't interested. And that's hardly surprising, frankly. I can only assume these two are so hard up that they signed up for this turkey. Avoid, at all costs. Even if it's in the bargain bin!

• Awful

  Truly an awful film. Not even the kind of awful you can enjoy by laughing at it. Just awful in every way. I am angry and want my time back for watching this garbage.
