Livin' by the Gun

I've been in love with westerns all of my life and for me there is simply nothing better than watching a good one but absolutely nothing worst than sitting through a bad one and I'm sorry but this is about as bad as they come.I really did try but I could only last about 15 minutes because every time an 'actor' opened their mouth I cringed. The acting is so atrocious that at first I thought it was a spoof, then on clicking on each of the cast names I noticed that this was the only movie most of them have been in so maybe they were just friends helping out. As for all the positive reviews, if you genuinely liked the film, fine, but comparing it to The Wild Bunch, True Grit or Shane is really just an insult to some of the America's greatest film makers.

I'm kicking myself for streaming this and watching it right to the end, especially since I could just as easily have streamed something better. The film was so bad it drew me in, I guess I wanted to see how bad it could get.

Horrible acting compounded by awkward stilted dialogue and pointless violence. It was easy to see that most of the actors were in front of the camera for the very first time, and there was no time for re-takes. And the props and set left a bit to be desired as well. Someone should tell the people constructing the set that plywood wasn't available in the old west. Horrible, just horrible!

Certainly not a top notch high dollar production, so the bad reviews by some are understandable. On the other hand, there's plenty to like about it, such as the use of more period correct props and wardrobe than usually seen in most Westerns. If only the more highly rated films could adopt what's good about Living By The Gun, but keep the more polished look and feel of those better rated films, we may finally see the perfect Western. Full disclosure: To the best of my knowledge, I am not "friends" with, nor a "relative" of anyone appearing in, or involved in making, this film.

This movie was, without a doubt, the absolute worst I have ever seen. I'm amazed that it made it onto the big screen... on the other hand, maybe it didn't make it onto the big screen; maybe it went straight to DVD. It is really very bad. What a shocker... I now find out that I have to write 10 lines of comment on this deplorable failed effort at entertainment. The acting was embarrassingly bad. The cast looks, AND acts, like maybe they are friends and relatives of whoever was behind this. I've seen better acting in high school plays, seriously. Those friends and relatives then wrote the glowing reviews wherein 8 of them rated the *cough cough* 'movie' a 10 (on a 10 scale) and 7 more rated it a 9... UNBELIEVABLE!

Time is precious and once it's gone you can't have it back....and sadly I watched this movie to the end knowing that it would never get better no matter how long I watched it....and no I'm not a troll I'm just guy who wasted almost 2 hours watching this mess when I could have been playing catch with my son or helping my daughter fix her doll house....may god have mercy on my soul for the wasted time.
