Any Bullet Will Do

10/18/2018 Definitely worth watching one time, but the storyline and acting could have been much, much better. Enjoy it for what it is and try not to be to critical while you watch. Bon Appetit

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 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.

This is not a high budget film but does ok with what it has. Beautifully shot, but more attention should have been paid to details. The 20th century American flag in a civil war battle was a very bad sign from the very first scene.

This is the second failure I've seen this week from Justin Lee - the other being another miserable mess, A Reckoning. Does he not know how to write a screenplay or direct his actors? I guess this is the result when all your experience in writing and directing is TV series. At least give one of those hats to a professional that can teach you something before you try to do it all yourself when taking on a full length feature film. And what's with the Westerns genre? Dumb story that goes nowhere with lousy pacing and boring extended scenes that make you yawn. At least the directing was slightly better than A Reckoning. A generous 3/10 for the cinematography and directing.
