Dead Men - Das Gold der Apachen

I have never written a movie review before but this one just demanded one, perhaps to save some other souls from spoiling their evening. I had so looked forward to watching a 3 hour western because I really enjoy westerns. Fifteen minutes into the movie, my husband and I turned and looked at each other and both made a disparaging remark on the movie. My husband finally fell asleep and I forced myself to watch the entire thing. I kept hoping it would get better but it never did. This movie plays like it was produced and directed by a 10 year old. Sure does, right down to the part where the two men spit in their hands then shake on something. The movie is all over the place, no clear direction. Near the beginning, my husband states, "What just happened?" It was as if a scene was added to the movie that absolutely did not belong. The dialog was really very bad. The movie does not give endings to the main situations within it so if you watch it all in hopes of learning what will happen to certain people or of certain events, you will be sadly disappointed. This movie deserves a rating of 1 but I gave it a 3, only because you could see how hard the cast was trying and for the beautiful horses.

When they buried their dead in a desert run off wash, they lost us. Failure by Ovation aired a 2 hour portion, that fades to black ni indication of a part 2 2hrs. Guide has same info for both parts without clarity so some only see half the movie. Part 2 second 2 hrs ends same fade to black, cutting off the ending on Ovating for promos of other programs. Leads to confusion & the waste of time comments. Directors cut may be warranted to finally know the entire story. A awful job by cable tv editors & guudeprogrammers.

Movie id a great job of making the viewer hate the villain but what happened to the villain at the end?

The action is fun but the movie overall confusing.

Wayyyyy too long....if the plot was more coherent they could have done a three part series. Some acting was good (indians and 1/2 of the cowpokes) and other parts just marginal. So, not bad if the budget was under 500k and it was shot in 60 days.
