Any Bullet Will Do - Um Gnade muss man flehen

Well, this movie looked good. And by looked good I mean visually. Some of the scenery was amazing. Aside from the contrail and moving plane I saw.

Anyway.

For some reason I knew what I was going to get before I even started it. I was kind of hoping it would turn out to be a cheesy western, but ultimately I felt it was just bad.

I normally try not to look at my watch during a movie, but I did several times through this. I also looked at my phone several times, too.

I kind of liked the story, but it was riddled with cliches and I'm pretty sure the word "reckon" was said more times than I have fingers and toes.

Not sure why I didn't stop it and watch something else.

I hate books and movies that shout virtues in my face. A virtue cannot be forced into you. It must be introduced softly and gently, in a way that you feel it as part of your essence, as something that you always were and don't have to think about it and consider it. People want to find something from themselves in the movie, not to be taught what to be. Not to mention that feminism and racism stand very insulting as main points in this movie. We should have been forgotten that social problems long time ago and movies like this one are only bringing it back in the most annoying way. Two stars for the efforts in the camera work.

This movie sucks. I do not advise anyone to see this movie !!!

With the exception of dialogue with Rose (trite, bad acting, unneeded romantic sub plot) the majority of the rest is well written and well acted for the budget. Cameos by bigger name actors are nicely integrated. Story is believable and details are seemingly and unusually accurate to the period. Filming is well done with well curated sets, costuming and beautiful locations. Re-casting or removing the Rose character would have elevated this flick to "memorable".

I wanted to like this, since it was set in an area I know and like. Unfortunately, nothing about this was decent except the location. Poor direction, a bad script, and maybe collectively some of the worst acting I've ever seen. The story could have been great, but sadly, this was really awful. I think three stars was being generous.
