Gunfight at Rio Bravo

East Texas is piney woods. The topography in this movie is more desert southwest. Could be west Texas, but no way is that east Texas.

That aside, I was expecting this movie to be a kind of a reboot of the John Wayne classic "Rio Bravo". It wasn't. Not really. The 2 movies do have similarities, but I don't think it could be considered a reboot.

I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but did like a few of the classics with The Duke and a few other classic western actors as well.

This movie was ok, I guess.

Now I'm just filling space in my review. I mean, who requires a minimum number of characters for a review. The administrator must be a high school English teacher.

OMG... Are you kidding me???? This is the worst western I've ever seen in my life!!!!! I really don't understand where come all these 10-ratings from, are you people blind and deaf? It seems to me that all the reviews were written by professionals and sent by e-mail to all the friends of Nevsky, in purpose to copy-paste them and post on IMDB.

Pathetic and helpless acting and directing, bad costumes, lack of any interesting film editing, empty lines and dialogues - this movie feels like laundering the black money for Russian mafia (kidding, still want to live) :)) The only actor that did some good work on set was Matthias Hues (still looking good low budget movies actor), all the rest of cast, including Nevsky, was terrible. They didn't even have enough material to make this failure a bit longer...

I didn't see any "outstanding performances", any "really good bunch of talented actors", any "thoroughly depicted historical scenes", any "fantastic landscapes"... I didn't hear any of "Quentin Tarantino-style dialogues", any "fantastic music", any good work of sound department, any interesting intonation at all... Ilya Naishuler was mentioned in one of the reviews, but I'm sure he would cry upon this movie and amount of money Nevsky spilled on it. And I wonder what it would be if Tarantino was reading these reviews he was mentioned in.

I know what is the category called B-movie. And I love those movies! But this so called western isn't even close to this category!

It's just bad bad bad movie...

I should have believed all the reviews that pan this movie. Weak and basic plot. Acting basic, mostly. No surprises. Cinematography good. Landscapes beautiful. Costumes decent. Setting very good. It left me unmoved. I didn't learn anything. Find a different one to watch, like Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, Hang 'Em High, the Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp TV Series, Once upon a time in the West, Fistful Of Dollars, the Deadwood series, Tombstone, the original half-hour shows of Gunsmoke. Anything but this, unless you Want to kill your soul. I feel like I've just had a pre-frontal lobotomy. I want my life back.

This is cheese. Not have fun don't take it seriously. Just rotten stinking cheese that has been left out for months. Maybe years. The acting is horrid. I get that the star in real life is Russian. But how wooden can someone be? Actually metal. His acting makes me think he is an actual robot. And the actresses look too modern with a. Too much makeup b. Face work done. I mean they should not be so serious in the movie. If they went out of their way maybe it would be kind of funny. But this movie has the personality of a boulder that has never moved since it's existence. To say this movie is horrible is to offend other horrible movies because nothing deserves to be put in the category with this movie. It reeks the worst smell in existence. Bad cheese and every revolting smell in existence. It should get minus 5 stars. Sucks that I have to give it one.

This is a truly terrible movie. The acting is extremely wooden - if they'd employed high school drama students they would have done a better job. The plot was nothing but western action movie cliches, strung together one after the other, without any development of tension. The only point of the movie seemed to be to see if Ivan Turchin can be the next Arnold Schwarzenegger. And the answer is - No, he can't. While Arnie was wooden at times, he always appeared to have a sense of humor bubbling away in the background. This movie takes itself totally seriously, and it's so bad it isn't even funny.
