Black Knuckle and Deputy Maltese

Real money was spent on this farrago of nonsense. Lavish sets, loads of extras, location filming in the countryside. Trouble is, none of it convinced. The Main Street was pristine, the cast's clothes were clean and obviously made for the show. I shudder to think how much money was wasted on this.

As for the acting, it's better to say nothing. Did someone get a huge inheritance and decide to blow all the money on making a short? I can't understand how or why a studio would have shelled out.

When we get to the storyline, the whole nonsense tips over into the abyss.

It's just utterly stupid and pathetic in every respect. There are no redeeming features at all here. Don't waste your time.

A little different western , amusing, very simple, silly in few scenes, unrealistic to absurd, but all is excused by the obvious purpose of it - to reflect a gay romance in Far West.

The childish fight scenes, the dialogues, the bizarre sheriff lady , the dance of applaudet eccentric, for period and place, couple are only tools, not the most impressive, not very elaborated for a sketch of story about two men, each of them in different position about law.

Sure, the basic sin is to have high expectations about this short film.

The second sin can be only to ignore the easy humor .

And, not less, to see it more than a feminist and gay manifesto.

So, some smiles, some cliches, familiar scenes and...the end.

Thought it was fun and left me wanting more. Actors where spot on for this kind of short. I really got a laugh out of it. I wish more gay films where done this well. Have two shots of tequila and enjoy.

The best part were the credits because that meant this piece of garbage was over.
