Redemption: A Mile from Hell

I accidentally rented this movie in the redbox tonight. What a mistake. I will definitely be more careful next time. This movie sucked so bad that you could actually hear the air leaving the room. I've seen better movies made by the av club of a local high school. The only redemption this movie got was in the period clothing. Characters were shallow, plot was non-existent, and acting...... Was there any? After watching this morning, I felt like I'd been gut shot.Too bad the Apostle couldn't have put me out of my misery like he did the star. I wish I could meet the person that put their money up to make this crapfest. If they bought into this movie, maybe they'll buy the beach front property I have in Kansas.

Robert Conway, bless his heart, attempts to make another western. The casting director in his westerns should be given 52 weeks of vacation.

One would think he could find one decent actor to play a bad guy that was believable in his or her role.

After watching western movies for over 65 years, know a good one from a bad one and this is a bad one. I do have to give Mr. Conway credit for his efforts and would suggest he may want to think about letting someone else handle the writing and especially the casting. The actor that played the Captain is not and never will be a convincing actor, especially in a western.

I will give him credit for scenery and beautiful landscaping shots.

The movie was definitely LAME. The sound track was so poor that I tried to access the Main Menu in an attempt to "add subtitles." Sorry! No subtitles. I should have hit the stop button and watched an old episode of Gunsmoke.

The storyline had to be written as they were filming. I should have followed my instincts when I didn't understand what was happening in the first five minutes BEFORE the title of the movie came on the screen. But, you know when a movie starts out bad; but has an interesting concept, you want to give it a chance? Big mistake! If you're interested in "head shots," nudity and the F-bomb (5-6 times) then this is your movie. If you like a good storyline and entertainment, then you'd better look for another movie.

My husband and I just watched Redemption last night. I saw a big "goof". Did anyone else notice the two shots with the American flag? It has 50 stars on it! Last I knew from my history classes, back in the late 1800's, the United States did not have 50 states, yet! Most of the props, that I noticed, did seem like they were dated correctly. I hate to watch movies where the props are not dated right. Some of the language was modern day. My husband really liked the realism of this movie, and he is somewhat of a western movie buff. He enjoyed the fact that they wore their guns where they were supposed to. At least when the guy got hurt, he stayed hurt and limped around, not like those action movies where they heal and don't feel any pain. I wish life was like that! I loved Capt. Till's hair! Great perm! It wasn't all that bad, I've seen worse. All in all, it was worth the $1.00 at Red Box. I would not pay $5.00 for it on Direct TV!

This may actually be the worst one I've ever seen, and among the worst movies I've seen in general.

Where do I even begin? The acting was horrible (can you say overacting?), the plot was weak and the dialog sucked. And don't even get me started on the accents. I felt like I was watching a first semester community college acting class. For those who actually thought this was a really good Western, I can only assume that you don't rent a lot of good ones.

The only good thing I could find about this movie was the fact that it was so terrible, it was actually funny, although I'm sure that's not what the director was going for.
