To Hell and Gone

Decent little hiest movie. Thought it was going to be far worse than it was. I felt like it sat right on the edge of being really good but never quite got there. If they had written the drifters charachter to be more proactive in his efforts after the action comes to the ranch, I think it would have been much better. He was acting to selfishly for me to really root for the guy which seemed like the writers/directors intent. Acting was ok. Not bad. Not great.

No big name production here but real spaghetti western style. A pretty unbelievable plot with many holes but delivery kept me going. Try it out.

Some original scenes and an inverted unnamed hero in a background of classical opera music; something definitely off the track and entertaining.

There are some reviewers that NEVER give more than a 1 Star rating. All items reviewed by psxexperten over the past two years have all shown a 1 star rating. That makes those reviews worthless in my opinion.

Went into this with somewhat low expectations, but came away not feeling that I had wasted 80 minutes of my life. Not a high budget movie by any means, yet the production quality was pretty good. I didn't see the usual signs of a low budget movie: inept camera work, exceedingly cheap sets, high school level acting. The movie looked good, but to be fair, I spend a lot of time in Arizona and am familiar with most of the filming locations, so I'm a bit biased. The actors looked to be well cast, although one of the bad guys was a bit over the top. The female lead was very well cast. As far as the story goes, I agree with others that the story of the drifter was not as well fleshed out as it should have been. I would've liked seeing his part being more proactive and heroic. Overall, he was a likable character, but it was hard to tell if his actions in the second half of the movie were self-serving, or altruistic. I don't think this movie rates a "10", but it's certainly better than the low ratings here, too.
