Dead Again in Tombstone

I only thought that the original "Dead in Tombstone" was just okay, but I decided to give this sequel a chance, given my love for westerns and for the fact that Danny Trejo was returning. Most likely you'll find this sequel a few notches below whatever you thought of the first movie, as I did. I admit that the movie looks pretty slick for the most part, though some interior scenes are either severely underlit or overlit, and there is some very unconvincing CGI blood and gore. But the script is kind of a mess. There are a number of plot points that are either vague or unexplained at all, and the result is that there is a feeling that the filmmakers were making things up as they went along. The sorry and clumsy script may explain why stars Danny Trejo and Jake Busey seem to be going on autopilot instead of delivering their lines with conviction and true menace. As for the action sequences, it comes across as standard stuff at best, not directed or choreographed in a way that grabs your attention. The movie is not dull, I admit, but all the same it's quite unsatisfying to watch.

Col Jackson Boomer (Jake Busey) badgers Guerrero (Danny Trejo) to give up the Bone Box (that contains The Devil's Bible, which will insure he has immense power over the entire world). Guerrero has come back from the Dead as Lucifer has him under control, but he claims he has no idea where the box is or what it is.

This is a somewhat supernatural western story and we will see a lot of shooting, blood squirting here and there and numerous explosions…..and oh, yes, a coming back from the dead too. Supernatural, remember?

In time, the Devil's Bible is given to Col Jackson Boomer, but something is wrong. It is not enough and Jackson figures this out. Something is missing. What could it be?

We see Jackson Boomer hanging out in the brothel run by Madame Du Vere (Elizabeth Lavender) and we also see naked girls making out with customers and with each other, too. Guerrero tries to re- establish himself with his estranged daughter Alicia (Elysia Rotaru) and his mother Zerelda De La Cruz (Michelle Rios) who tells Guerrero he must protect the bone box. Later,we see that his mother is quite handy with a gun too.

The acting is good all around, the music is good, the gun fights are well choreographed, but the cinematography is awesome and almost a work of art on their own. Kudos.

Notable: Dean McDermott as Dr Goldsworthy who we suspect is something more than human and he tries to have Guerrero reject Lucifer's hold on him. Supernatural, remember?

This is no holds barred western and is quite rough, but very entertaining. (7/10)

Violence: Yes. Sex: No.. Nudity: Yes. Language: Yes.

Gotta love the 20 shot six shooters.. but it's Danny Trejo. Who seems to have a magical way of making anything he's in watchable. Not much of a plot at all, but like I stated.. it's Danny Trejo. So just put away the history crap, sit back and watch a half decent movie.

Seriously why is it that bad of acting every time he star in it? Is it on purpose? It feels this is on purpose because by now it is getting to be obvious, I mean Arnold is doing way better with his movies since "Terminator" he has definitely improved through the years but Danny Trejo seems to never improve. I really like him and his characters but he is killing me with his acting.

Here we go again! Danny Trejo returns as Guerrero for another round of killings. This time the antagonist is Jackson Boomer (Jake Busey). He was a friend of Guerrero's stepbrother and is now in pursuit of a box containing a book that will give him incredible power.

The film follows on the events of 'Dead in Tombstone'. We learn more about Guerrero's family and meet his daughter and mother, and also realize there was a reason the Devil made a deal with him in the first film. With Roel Reine returning as director, this is another visually stunning treat - visually even better than the original film. The cinematography is STUNNING. The photography and aerial shots are FANTASTIC. There are some films I'll watch again and again for the sake of the cinematography - and this is such a film. It's one amazing shot after the next. Some shots are breathtakingly beautiful. It's the type of photography you expect from big budget productions.

Just like 'Dead in Tombstone', 'Dead again in Tombstone' is fast-paced and filled with action, adventure, suspense, gore, fantasy, and there's that great score again. As the film progressed, it became more intense with incredible scenes. The carriage chase sequence was stunningly well done. The final act is very supernatural and fantastical, but the film nevertheless remained interesting and exciting. It might not be as good as the original film, but this was good in its own right. I certainly was entertained!

Would I watch it again? Yes.
