Wow. I didn't know it could get this bad.
Between the horrible acting, with apparent symptoms of low-grade voice-immodulation, and an extremely lacking story line, this film goes nowhere pretty quickly. I have to say that I was surprised that the acting could seem so unnatural. The lines were delivered as if they were read by a monotone second grader off of a hard-to-read cue card. The action was anything but. The musical score was non-existent. The make-up was done by someone trying to imitate Adam Ant. They should have hired Adam Ant instead, as the video for Stand and Deliver at least had intentional humor. I doubt anyone will read this review before renting, and thus this will merely be preaching to a choir for people visiting this page. Hopefully, someone will read the back of the DVD before renting. I didn't. It contains this gem: "the woman must find the courage to trust, care, and kill for one another". When there are only two sentences, you would think someone could take the time to check the grammar. Maybe the person writing the description was trying to warn us in a stealthy fashion not to rent this.
If you like the half smile of incredulity while watching crummy movies...
you'll like this weak western. As a enthusiast for bad cinema, I seek out the bad, really bad and unwatchable film, and this film is just plain bad. Beautiful cinematography and stunning film locations juxtapose stilted acting, trite dialogue and pointless plot devices. Add in ghosts, gratuitous vulgar language, racial and ethnic stereotypes, poor sound recording, anachronisms such as automobile tire tracks, stock sound effects from 1950's cowboy serials and cap it off with a muddled script and you get a honest to god, crappy movie. Even the final music will cause spontaneous laughter. If you like bad movies, this one will satisfy, sort of.
Better than average Oater
OK? Who besides James Gammon and Patrick Bergin are in this film? Who else do you know? The three principles are faces with no names besides those flashing by in the credits. They're definitely not cutie-pies and the roles they bring to the screen are not your typical Western female hero. One, Maxine (Suzanne Andrews), is a macha-hero-type but the other two, Claire (Judith Burnett), an ex-school marm with a drinking problem married to an abusive bum and Bridgett (Lissa Negrin)is an ex-hooker who actually loves her husband, Billie. These three ladies see their husbands hanged and then chased by everyone else in the picture because they are believed to know where the loot is buried. We see them chased by a drunken, incompetent posse, two bounty hunters, a faux preacher and his gang and then, some Native Americans. While this is not a film to keep you on the edge of your seat, it is an evening's worth of entertainment which goes beyond the sterile iconic old Westerns I and all the other kids of my generation grew up on. All in all, it's better than the average oater.
Wow, this sucked
I wish we had checked a review before renting. This movie was awful!! The acting was really bad. The delivery was terrible and sounded like they were just doing a read-through that no one cared about. There was a horrible overuse of cuss words (could you have added anymore?!). There were many poorly written lines that sounded like modern lingo or slang (did they know it was set in the old west?!). The makeup was terrible and everyone looked ill. The killing of the horses was sad and very corny - amazing that those two words are in the same sentence. It had some good scenery, I should have watched it in mute. Don't bother viewing!!
Pointless...
The story of three women who see their husbands hang for a robbery. They decide to go find the stolen money (aka "loot") after various characters start to hunt them down, thinking that they are already after said loot. After riding for a while, they figure out that they are in possession of pieces of a map that will lead them to the loot. Oh, and did I mention that along the way they each start to see the ghosts of their recently departed husbands? I won't spoil it from here on, but if you have ever seen more than a couple of westerns then you have probably figured out how it ends by now. While it started off interesting, the plot eventually began to bog down and get very predictable (except for the ghosts, which were just plain weird). We had TiVo'd it, and my wife actually started fast-forwarding through the non-action scenes (of which there are plenty). Not sure exactly how the last five minutes played out, as we fast-forwarded through them as well. A very boring, yet strange film.
