Dead Men

I didn't find it too bad but having watched Justified, 1883 and the somewhat fictionalised American Primeval this didn't:t stand a chance really. So.manybof them look.alike with their hats and unshaven faces. I am seriously having trouble with Vance. He looks like the ex Cavalry friend of the brother:s father who got shot and I thought was dead but if it's him alive he now seems in cahoots with Coles. As an ex Army Officer I expect him to be superlative in the art of battle but I just cannot for the life of me figure out the guy with the one eye, exactly. I don't intend giving out spoilers here.

The action is fun but the movie overall confusing.

The only thing entertaining was the location and the horses and somewhat the Apache wardrobe. The firearms were no where near the period you have this taking place in 1868-1869 the colt peacemaker didn't come out until 1873 as well as the 73 Winchester, the 86 Winchester didn't come out until 1886, the 94 Winchester didn't come out until 1894, and the composition shingles that were on the roof of Roberts place didn't come in to production until 1970's the storylines were all over the place I couldn't tell what as going on or what was the main objective.... revenge of the father or the goldmine claim or rescue of the Apache wife or reuniteing of the brothers, and the dialogue! Ghastly

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.

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