Due peccatrici e un mulo

Like some I stumbled across this film whilst flicking through Netflix. I looked at the reviews in iMDB and thought I would give it a go after watching the preview (which looked kinda interesting in a Blazing Saddles kind of way).

From the opening scene I found I kept trying to validate the film. "They are trying to replace the old westerns of the 70s", "someone is a fan of Blazing Saddles", "what's with the colour?" "why is it so bleached" the cinematography is clunky, the acting is more wooden than an oak table. All of this within the first 10 minutes. I persevered for another 15 minutes in a mix of confusion, hope and despair but eventually gave up.

I reckon anyone watching this can be added to the sinners list (that would include myself obviously) ... so no pun intended. I really like Cam and I am into Western movies .. yet I am not too sure about the movie itself. Too many things that do not work or are done in a weird (not good weird) way ... in a fashion you may not expect I reckon.

All that being said, the movie can be enjoyed if you are a fan of one of the actors. I reckon if I didn't watch movies to the end, this might have been one I might have stopped sometime during it. Not so much about it being predictable (I reckon some of the things are) ... but because it feels off ... I can't describe it, but if you watch it, you can tell that some thing (or a lot of things?) is (are) missing ... good luck with that.

Bad acting and plot is not what I expected. I don't think I would ever watch a movie like this again. It had bad acting the plot was terrible. The guy got shot so much at times it didn't make any sense The funniest part was when she poured coffee all over him while he was sleeping, and then it was gone in the next scene It was too funny when they were so close to each other yet they couldn't shoot and hit each other. They were all bad shots.

The bad part about it that it wasn't free. I asked for a refund, but I wouldn't know where to go for that good lesson learned is maybe read reviews about it next time.

First of all, the title of this movie is so poorly chosen, that it just leads you to think in a whole different playing field. I wonder if no one actually raised their hand at any point and said 'uhm, the title though?'.

I have to say that the synopsis for this 2023 Western movie titled "Two Sinners and a Mule" sounded interesting enough. And thus I opted to pick up the movie and sit down to watch it. I hadn't actually heard about the movie prior to stumbling upon it by random luck.

Writer Beau Hilliard put together a script and storyline that had promise, for sure. But there was just something lacking from the movie to make it a properly entertaining movie. I wanted to like "Two Sinners and a Mule", I really did, but the movie was just falling short of being entertaining. I suppose it was a combination of the pacing of the narrative, the lack of entertaining contents, and the fact that the characters had the appeal of tadpoles.

Of the entire cast ensemble that starred in "Two Sinners and a Mule", then I was only familiar with Cam Gigandet. But they definitely had a good selection of skilled actors and actresses on the cast ensemble, just a shame that they didn't have proper contents to work with and bring to the screen.

For a Western movie then "Two Sinners and a Mule", from director Raliegh Wilson, came and went without leaving a lasting impression. It is hardly a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, as it was a struggle to sit through it the first time around.

Visually then "Two Sinners and a Mule" just didn't really come off as a proper era-set Western. Everything felt too new, spotless and clean.

My rating of "Two Sinners and a Mule" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

This is not a good western. It's not even good, accidentally.

Raleigh Wilson is known locally in New Mexico for being a stunt guy who gives "homie hookups" to his friends and grandkids while denying others opportunities.

That said, he did not get the cream of the crop for this awful movie. The cinematography was hit and miss, the acting was laughable at best. I'm not sure how Raleigh landed the director's chair on this (oh, yes I do: politics), but it's clear he should stay in stunts.

I give this 2 stars because some of the actors were trying their best with the material they had. Like I said, if you look up his director's filmography, you'll see there was a lot of cronyism here, too. I suppose for Hollywood it's par for the course.

My advice: skip this movie.
