Gunslingers

So many things were wrong with this movie, from the costumes to the acting. They mentioned 357 ammunition, which wasn't even invented until the 1930's. Costumes were not period correct. They wasted a good opportunity to make a western movie for fans. The acting was sub par at best. The script lacked depth. The videography was exceedingly reliant on facial expressions. The entire movie was on par with a spaghetti western at best. I do not recommend wasting your time watching this movie. I've seen better acting in a children's play. Why did Nicholas Cage put his name on this mess. We're Western movie enthusiast and this did not live up to our expectations at all.

It's trash. Anyone who says it's good is literally lying just because they glaze Nicolas Cage.

The movie is literally a (try not to quit) challenge. It struggles a lot. The editing and the way some of the clips are put together feels like something from a director who's just starting out, like one of those indie projects you'd find on YouTube, but with a much higher budget. Some of the costumes look a little cheap and unpolished.

I was excited for this! But this is honestly the weakest western I've ever watched. Give the movie a chance if you wanna laugh at how off it is, but if you're watching for pure enjoyment, I'd probably stay away.

When I saw the cast ensemble for the movie, I have to admit that I was initially somewhat intrigued and impressed. I mean, with the likes of Stephen Dorff, Heather Graham, Nicolas Cage, Tzi Ma, Eric Mabius and Costas Mandylor on the cast list, then you would assume that you would be in for something enjoyable.

But I have to say that writer and director Brian Skiba definitely proved me wrong with "Gunslingers". The storyline in the movie was flaccid, and there just wasn't a whole lot of entertainment value in the movie. I have to say that I sort of zoned out about half way through, and the movie just because something that played mostly in the background.

Even with a cast ensemble that included some good talents and names, the movie failed. Sure, the acting performances were, for the most parts, actually fair, then the movie just proved to be less than mediocre. And not even the sheer amount of gunfights did much to make up for the shortcomings.

Maybe diehard Western fans will be getting a much bigger kick out of watching "Gunslingers" than I did as a casual viewer.

The CGI animated rain was just cringeworthy to look at. But at least it provided a moment of good laughing.

This is not a movie that I will return to watch a second time.

My rating of writer and director Brian Skiba's 2025 movie "Gunslingers" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Saw Gunslingers. In a world where horrible modern day movies like Novocaine and Death of a Unicorn exist, Gunslingers is a much needed friend, an old school Western/Action shoot em up with sibling rivalry plot lines and a hilarious and awesome NICOLAS CAGE performance. You may ask why the negative mainstream reviews? That's because they don't respect B action films. They'll only sell you the latest Timothee Chamalet drek. If you can appreciate the efforts of a small film giving it their all, you'll enjoy this film. Sure, it's not perfect but you can appreciate it, flaws and all. Kudos to Lionsgate for delivering these films to the community of action lovers.

Simply put: Did some kids make this movie ?

Good idea (not original though).

Poor acting.

Poor action scenes. Better go watch kids in schoolyard imitating some action scenes.

Poor music.

Poor camera.

Not funny at all.

Slow.

Too fake. Got some decent and good actors but looks like if they did this movie in such a terrible rush that they somehow forgot how to act.

Romance not existent ... well you can catch some terrible attempt if you have some above average attention to details and way above average patience.

Way too unrealistic and no it's not a sci fi movie hahaha.

Wanna watch solid western go grab any 50 years old movie rather than this... even in black and white.
