Three Bad Men

It seemed like bad cut scenes from a video game. A couple of the cast are known actors, but they don't want to be known by this film. The camera work may have been done by a Jr. high Student. Please forgive any insult I have made to Jr. High cameramen who are competent. The location and costumes were not bad except for the bandanna's that were worn like capes. The plot had a chance but the script and score made it imposable to care about. There is no reason to rent this movie. If it's in the $.99 bin do not buy it. Don't let friends watch, rent or buy this movie.

This movie is very slow and plodding. there are no surprises or plot twist to make watching this mundane movie payoff in any way.

With a plot largely taken from the John Wayne/John Ford MGM classic, "3 Godfathers" 3 bad men is a cheap independent movie that tries to fill the gap since major studios have lost the ability to make good westerns.

Three men rob a bank of $30,000 but are soon sidetracked from their escape plan when they come upon a fatally wounded man who begs them to pursue the men who shot him and kidnapped his bride. For very personal reasons, the leader of the three promises to rescue the bride.

We have the kidnap/murderers pursued by 3 unknown men (the bank robbers), being pursued by the Marshall and his unwilling deputies.

At no time does the picture rise to A-list quality, but it kept my interest.

To those who called this the worst western ever, a question: Did you not see the "310 to YUMA" re-make? That movie turned against the audience in the final 20 minutes, an ending so stupid it amounted to the death knell of A-list westerns. Do you remember that instead of Christian Bale having to confront and defeat Russell Crowe's men, Crowe instead shoots his own men down, so glad he was for prison.

I watched it on DVD. I can't imagine this raw turkey ever being in a theater. The entire film should be in "deleted scenes" or the gag reel. I thought in the early scenes that I was being set up for a gag. Unfortunately the only gag was the reflex I experienced while watching. Poor George Kennedy. To have been in some great movies with some legendary characters, to end up in this film school exercise. I hope he was paid much more than the role demanded. Unfortunately, he should have paid the producer to leave his scenes on the cutting room floor. This may be a cult classic some day. Wait until it becomes funny to watch it. On second thought, find it, watch it, and be on the cutting edge when it becomes popular. Just don't pay for it.

At 47 minutes I had probably laughed at least ten time over the INCREDIBLY bad acting/body language. Not I'm hooked and have to see how BAD this movie can really get. Can you spell C, with an R, with an A, with a P.

If you are wondering why you have never heard of this film, then there is a good reason. This is the CHEEZZZZZZZZZZIEST Western you will ever see. This is undoubtedly the worst western that you will ever see. The acting is horrible. The script must have been written by a 12 year old. The actors seem to have a hard time keeping straight faces as they recited their cheesy lines. The studio was scraping the bottom of the pigpen when they stumbled across this pile of crap. It was a waste of good film; and worse yet, a waste of my time. I'll bet George Kennedy wanted this one buried! Don't waste your time on this one folks. On a 1-10 scale, I would give this one a negative 10.
