Taken from Rio Bravo

Its so bad i cant even tell you about the story whitout laughing, the actors are so bad and stiff that a robot would do it better !!! And the people behind the camwra how in gods name did they get this job, please join workers at McDonalds ! They should pay me for this time I never will get back looking at this sh..t !!! Who put upp the money for this turkey of a "movie" and the same people should put up more money for acting lesson for the 2 main caracter. And even more money to send the director and producer to a doesent school and learn how to make a dessert movine, beacuse this is not, do something else instead like put yourself on fire feels better !

It felt like watching porn, sans the smut. The actors really were so bad, I expected them to throw off all clothes and get down to business any second.

It could've been fantastic in it's own genre, had they done so.

Still giving it a rating of 2, because in some twisted way I enjoy suffering through a really bad movie.

Toward the end, things speed up and it's all very anticlimactic. Seems like everyone is tired of the whole mess, can see there's no way to make the movie any good and just want to wrap it up and call it a day.

To my horror, after it's over, they reveal that there are more movies featuring the same, wooden Russian character as the lead. They're just as bad as this, I'm sure.

I'll probably watch them, when I'm in the mood for some punishment.

Now, the synopsis for the movie actually sounded interesting enough to make me decide to sit down and watch the movie. Usually I am not particularly keen on Western movies, but do watch one every now and again. However, I have to say that I had some expectations to the movie from what the synopsis presented. However, writers Craig Hamann and Alexander Nevsky dropped the ball here, because the movie proved to be a massive swing and a miss.

Granted, I have not watched the 2023 Western "Gunfight at Rio Bravo", so I don't know how much of this 2024 sequel was lost on me as I didn't know what transpired in the first movie.

Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Don Wilson, Matthias Hues and Cynthia Rothrock. The acting performances in the movie were for the most parts fair enough, but then there was Alexander Nevsky.

Right, well Cynthia Rothrock as a woman in 1874 performing martial arts didn't exactly come off as being a particularly realistic or plausible thing. It was just such a poorly mixture of martial arts and Western, and it didn't work. And having Don Wilson, whom is part Japanese, play a native American, well...

Director Joe Cornet didn't deliver an impressive Western experience, and this was a movie that will just as quietly fade into oblivion as it quietly managed to sneak in under the radar. Not even if you are a diehard Western fan then I wouldn't recommend you to sit down and watch "Taken From Rio Bravo".

My rating of this 2024 farce of a Western movie lands on a very, very generous two out of ten stars.

TAKEN FROM RIO BRAVO is an indie western that turns out to be a sequel to ASSAULT ON RIO BRAVO, which I haven't seen, and features a couple of returning characters. I don't feel like I missed much there. This is pretty lamentable stuff, just about passable as a B-grade kind of outing, involving an outlaw gang who kidnap a number of women and the heroes who team up to get them back again. As with most low budget films in this genre, the landscape impresses but the performances don't, particularly the wooden Nevsky. Don 'The Dragon' Wilson has a small role as an Indian tracker and Cynthia Rothrock has an even smaller role, so tiny that I actually missed it.

This film is capable of conquering the heavens themselves. Alexander Nevsky once again shocked his fans with his brilliant vision of cinema. From the script to the direction, everything in this film is great. It is impossible to express in words the depth of my admiration. Man could not create this masterpiece. Only you, Alexander, the true incarnation of Apollo on earth, could have done this!

Watching your movie, I cried with happiness. My family wept with me, amazed at your unsurpassed genius. You've turned my perception of cinema upside down. Your representation of the Wild West was so historically accurate that I'm afraid you got access to Nikita Mikhalkov's secret documents. You have proved to the haters once and for all the insignificance of their claims. Bravo, Mr. Nevsky, Hollywood is at your feet.

Your place is not among people, but on Olympus!
