Dead Man's Hand

I saw the preview somewhere online and was kinda excited to see it. Nope. I like Stephen Dorff and Cole Hauser. Felon is an underrated movie. I feel like Mr Dorff owed a favor to Val Kilmer and did a movie with his son Jack. Not sure if they were trying to make it look old but it looked like something from the early 90s. The acting was really bad and cheesy. The slow motion effects were in needed. Boring plot. Oh yeah did I mention the acting was really bad. Corin Nemec of Parker Lewis fame was a producer. Pretty sure he did it so he could be in the background making dumb faces the whole movie. Again bad bad acting. First time in my life I've left a review. That's how much I'm trying to save someone from watching this.

This might be the worst western I have ever seen. The plot is completely nonsensical, the editing was terrible, and the acting was just the worst. The soundtrack is plain bad. Do not waste your time or money on this garbage. I have never felt compelled to write a review until the credits started to roll on this film. The random violence has no pertinence to the story, the supernatural effects come off as absolutely silly. The only thing that comes close to redeeming this pile is Cole Hauser basically playing Rip Wheeler in the Old West, however even that is not enough to justify the awful things that go on around him in this bad bad bad movie. Do not waste your time.

Too bad that Forrie J Smith and Cole Hauser couldn't pull this move out of the ditch.

THEY were great, and should have had a much more front and center role....and obviously should have had a more hands-on participation in the movie... They likely could have saved it. Forrie and Cole know ho to make it all work.

The scenes they were in were great. The rest of the movie was sadly lacking...obviously though no fault of Forrie and Cole.

I'm hoping to see them team up with a better project very soon.

Forrie and Cole were just great, the rest of the story was sadly lacking, in terms of continuity and believability.

Bring on more Forrie and Cole Westerns... Just Do Better! :) They shouldn't be expected to carry the ENTIRE movie, especially when they aren't the main characters.

They were basically the only good things about this project!

Fingers crossed.

AKA a comic book. No surprise there. I mean, this one will certainly not tax the intellect any more than your average Archie & Jughead. But then it's a Western, which even the best of them are most often sparsely plotted and can generally be summed up in no more than just a few sentences. High Noon for instance, and one of the uncontested best of them can be adequately described in two. This film at least has that in common, but it is however, no High Noon. But still, I think if you like the genre, entertaining enough, filling the requirement of lots of action, a lot of outdoor photography, and with the merit of one bit of originality I've never seen before in any film outside Science Fiction (The Alligator People is the only one that comes immediately to mind) that seen in a Western defies the medical science not only of the period plus this one, but anything likely to be accomplished this side of a Star Trek future.

If your sick on the couch , looking for something to pass the time, skip this, unless you're going to take a nap soon It's that bad. I re-rounded a couple of times thinking I missed something because I couldn't possibly be seeing what I was seeing .

I tried selling it to my husband "it can't be that bad because it has several of the Yellowstone cast members in it." Maybe it was co-written by Taylor Sheridan I said. :-) Nope. No such luck I sure hope they paid Cole enough money to make it worth his while.

The soundtrack alone will make you want to turn the volume down. It is annoying as it gets.
