Bite the Dust

While I am not overly a big fan of Western movies in general, I do sit down every now and again to watch one or two. And as I hadn't heard about this 2023 Western from writer and director Christopher Sheffield, as I happened to stumble upon it by random chance, I opted to give the movie a view, as I found the cover interesting.

I didn't know what I was in for, as I hadn't heard about it, nor seen any trailer or read anything about it. So writer and director Christopher Sheffield had every opportunity to entertain and bedazzle me with "Bite the Dust".

The script for "Bite the Dust", as written by Christopher Sheffield, was pretty straightforward, and left very little room for surprises or twists to the plot and storyline. It made for a watchable enough Western movie, albeit a rather generic one at that. It is a rather slow paced narrative, which makes it a somewhat prolonged experience sitting through the movie, as it doesn't have much excitement going on.

Now, I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in "Bite the Dust", but they performed quite well and brought their characters to life on the screen in an enjoyable manner. And the character gallery in the movie was actually fair enough.

The music score in the movie was rather unfitting for a Western movie, and that sort of killed the mood and the atmosphere that director Christopher Sheffield was trying to establish and set up throughout the course of the movie. The music was just simply too modern and electronic to be suitable for a Western movie.

Watchable, for sure, but "Bite the Dust" was hardly a memorable or outstanding Western movie. But I am sure that die hard Western fans will find more enjoyment in the movie than I did as a casual viewer.

My rating of "Bite the Dust" lands on a four out of ten stars.

How in the world can this movie rate a 7.9 is beyond me. No name actors and actresses with terrible delivery. Is this a western or a comedy? Either way it falls short. I really tried to give it a chance but tapped out at the half way point. You get the feeling everybody is over acting causing choppy transitioning. I will say the storyline is very good and that is what attracted me at first. Can someone explain to me how movies like this rate so high. If this movie would have been free, I would not have lasted as long as I did. A rating of 4 would have been more appropriate. At least people might not have such a high expectation.

As a fan of the western genre, this was a light hearted movie. For all the critics, you must remember the clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns Were highly criticized in its day, low budget with a blend of over the top plot and some wit.

Not as silly as they call me trinity, but closer to blazing saddles. I would suggest the next movie Include some back story, like flashbacks on the Waco kids title reign and how Dutch learned to handle those colts so well. I would also suggest a love interest for one or even both of the guys, say hooking up with sisters. Imagine the fun.

Thanks again guys, a pleasant movie.

Looking for a good western. This wasn't it. Horrible acting across the board along with a horrible story line. I've seen a lot of bad western but this was one of the worst. There is no way anyone gage this movie 10/10 stars unless they were getting a cut of the royalties or one of their relatives wrote the screenplay. If my dog wasn't sleeping soundly on my lap and I couldn't reach the remote control without waking him, I would have changed the channel or better yet turned the movie off. Watching my dog napping was much more entertaining than this horrible, horrible movie. Seriously, really bad.

This movie is absolutely captivating and full of emotions. The story is gripping and the actors give amazing performances. The visuals are breathtaking and the music adds to the overall experience. The director did an excellent job of keeping the audience engaged, with moments of suspense and moments of deep thinking. The scenery and sets are beautiful and make you feel like you're part of the movie. The music helps to create a strong emotional connection with the characters. The movie explores important themes about life, love, and what it means to be human. It's a truly amazing film that will stay with you long after you've watched it.
