Prey for Death (2015) Reviews

• Terrible terrible acting!

  I wonder how someone could give this movie more then 3 stars out of 10! At the beginning it opens with a fighting scene. Chamberlain who is the main character breaks a man"s neck - and you can still see the guy breathing. You can easily see this fight was rehearsed many times. Then the movie jumps to a gun fight scene... terrible! If you watch carefully you can see where the movie cuts so the special effects can be added. One man gets shot in leg and the pants bleed from a perfect round hole then shot in stomach - again perfect round hole in shirt and it bleeds. When the actors talk its like they are reading the script! There are pauses like someone is telling the actors "Your turn to talk now". The monologue is terrible and very unrealistic. This is the worst of the worst of westerns I have seen so far! (Sorry for my writing - doing this from small laptop and I have huge fingers LOL)

• Maybe Perez should try to do one thing well because he performs all of his roles absolutely terribly!

  Not only is this a writer/director movie, it's a writer/director/producer/cinematographer/editor movie. And it shows! It's impossible to know where to start with its list of shortcoming. Let's just try a few.... As a writer, he falls in love with his own dialogue, especially that of the Barron, who tries to talk you to death over the first 25 minutes. Yes, it takes a full 1/3rd of the movie to get going. And all the dialogue is poor. Okay, very poor. And often dumb. Like the script. And the acting is wooden as a Trojan horse. But then they do have a massively corny plot to work with. Best exchange: "Did we bring along that old whisky that we procured in Scotland? What does that prove?" "Even the Scottish aren't completely useless." How to alienate a nation without even trying. Much of the 'music score' is moronic and extremely grating. If it jars to such an extent, it must be really dire. It was 'composed' by three people one of whom, it will not surprise you to learn, was our writer/director/producer/cinematographer/editor/COMPOSER! Worst of all, the movie has no surprises and is essentially boring. Yes, there are fights and shootouts but they drag on and on and they're boring. He has no idea how to stage a fight let alone film one. Maybe he should concentrate on doing one thing well. Because he does all of these things absolutely terribly! Don't be misled by the review that gives it 10/10 - the guy has only written that one review, and talk about a 'moral twist and watching it twice is even funnier than the movie! There is no twist! Oh boy... So why 2*s? Because it was entertaining in the sense that you will be looking for the next corny line, the next wooden acting move, the next bad music cue, the next plot hole, the next... You get the idea. That is, if you're still around after 10 minutes and no one at all will blame you if you're not.

• Perfect western with a modern moral twist

  Perfect western with a modern moral twist I watched twice in one sitting just make sure it really was that good! Love the English American intertwine. When feel sorry for the bad guy you know the writer has you in the palm of his hand I knew from the read the write up this was a thrill in the making I was not let down Good ending although Predictable yet it should not end any other way. Very old school I think we have a classic here. Am i going too far? well very uplifting experience This was the summery that intrigued me: Baron Emerson uses his vast wealth to travel the world and hunt. He does not hunt animals, he hunts warriors. The Baron arrives at the American frontier and is looking for his next prey. An outlaw gunslinger named Chamberlin who is in jail and set to be hanged. The Baron arranges for Chamberlin to be freed so that he can hunt him like an animal in a bloody game of life and death in the wild west.
