Gunfight at Dry River

The screenplay lacks a coherent back story and instead suggests some bizarre inherent importance of a treasure secreted somewhere. It's unclear why everyone is where they are apart from historical reasons. A lot of focus is on the dwindling water supply which becomes an impalusible rationed commodity yet quite how it would be commercialised by the invaders is unclear. The location is convincing but the ruined nature of everything makes no sense. The cowboys are hackneyed clichés as is the matriarch. Dickinson plays a doe eyed hero and though no chemistry is present between him and Isabella walker, they manage to hold their own albeit a little over the top towards the end. 101 minutes of time could be spent on something far more worthwhile even if you wheeled out a dubbed spaghetti western from the 60s or 70s.

If we call Italian westerns "Spaghetti" then we must call the Spanish westerns "Tapas" westerns or "Tortilla" westerns. Like the title of my review, I do love a good western movie but alas, this one left much to be desired.

Not much of a movie. Way too slow to develop, plot line that really made no sense. Some decent landscape and cinematography, but even that became stale as the movie proceeded. I usually can provide a higher rating for Western movies when there are impressive landscapes, but there are just too many flaws with this picture. As a Western fan, I had a hard time being able to watch this to the end. I was really hoping for logical reactions from the characters, but every step of the way, it just didn't make sense. The lead character was likable, but didn't live up to what I would want to see in a protagonist. Save your time and skip this one.

As a lifelong fan of western movies, this trash is the worst I've ever seen. Horrible script, acting and soundtrack! There is absolutely nothing believable about the premise of the movie. A complete waste of film!!!

Funny how if you don't like something then your some type of brutish American who only wants violence and action.

Can't a movie just be bad for no reason except it sucks and historically inaccurate.

This movie is ripe with historical inaccuracies, i'm only sharing one because it's what caused most people to leave the movie. The horses at the start is a dead giveaway about how historically inaccurate and lack of thought and care put into storytelling. The horse is too nice to be in the old west the horse its overall confirmation and health really distracts from the storytelling. On top of it it looks like somebody threw a bucket of water on the horse to make it look like it was sweating not real accurate. They put no thought to how it would luck if a horse was sweaty personally I think they only cared about getting a few well known actors which is still a disservice for the audience. Additionally the horse keeps doing dressage moves throughout which within the first five minutes caused all the horses people in my family to get up and walk out of the movie. I know you can't get everything historically accurate but within the first five minutes of movie is falling apart and not allowing you to suspend the reality and put you self in the time period. It's important that the Director and writer care enough about the story process not to distract but to draw the viewer in. For the lack of care of this movie is why I give it such a poor review you don't respect the audience why should I even bother to spend the time watching your movie.
