Taken from Rio Bravo

TAKEN FROM RIO BRAVO is an indie western that turns out to be a sequel to ASSAULT ON RIO BRAVO, which I haven't seen, and features a couple of returning characters. I don't feel like I missed much there. This is pretty lamentable stuff, just about passable as a B-grade kind of outing, involving an outlaw gang who kidnap a number of women and the heroes who team up to get them back again. As with most low budget films in this genre, the landscape impresses but the performances don't, particularly the wooden Nevsky. Don 'The Dragon' Wilson has a small role as an Indian tracker and Cynthia Rothrock has an even smaller role, so tiny that I actually missed it.

Just another "masterpiece " with Alexander Nevsky (his real surname is Kuritsyn, that means Chicken) - a self proclaimed "actor", "Mr Universe " (he actually claims he won the same title in bodybuilding as...Schwarzenegger!:)), which is insane, as he never won any, and if you really care enough to expose this impudent fraudster- google the Mr Universe winners of all times and try to find Alexander Nevsky in there. Good luck. So, this Russian-born "wanna-be Schwarzenegger" is constantly commiting publicity fraud, taking pictures with various clueless Hollywood actors, and presenting himself as their good friend, while producing ridiculously bad, money-laundry movies, where he acts as a preposterously awful high school actor with non-existent charisma. Poor guy. His mental disease is progressing, and the more he spends on acting, the more lamer his character becomes. A unique case. His "movies" must be considered only as comedies, and that strong feeling of shame that you obtain from those, only indicates of your healthy intelligence. P. S. He writes all the praising comments for himself, along with his circus members. A very cheap and talentless fraud.

It would be mean to spoiler and deprive you of the watching joy, thus i limited my reviews to points which became better:

1. The plot - elaborated and consistent - great work.

2. Landscapes filming - just magnificent panoramas.

3. Shooting scenes - inheriting the best of westerns 4. Operator work (i rate some sequences better than in John Wick) 5. More first-class actors and new faces 6. Sudden comeback of some previous characters 7. English of the starring Alex Nevsky

One star less since the movie has too much flashbacks to the Gunfight at Rio Bravo.

The fan base knows the original by heart. And if you don't know it, just watch first.

Its so bad i cant even tell you about the story whitout laughing, the actors are so bad and stiff that a robot would do it better !!! And the people behind the camwra how in gods name did they get this job, please join workers at McDonalds ! They should pay me for this time I never will get back looking at this sh..t !!! Who put upp the money for this turkey of a "movie" and the same people should put up more money for acting lesson for the 2 main caracter. And even more money to send the director and producer to a doesent school and learn how to make a dessert movine, beacuse this is not, do something else instead like put yourself on fire feels better !

It felt like watching porn, sans the smut. The actors really were so bad, I expected them to throw off all clothes and get down to business any second.

It could've been fantastic in it's own genre, had they done so.

Still giving it a rating of 2, because in some twisted way I enjoy suffering through a really bad movie.

Toward the end, things speed up and it's all very anticlimactic. Seems like everyone is tired of the whole mess, can see there's no way to make the movie any good and just want to wrap it up and call it a day.

To my horror, after it's over, they reveal that there are more movies featuring the same, wooden Russian character as the lead. They're just as bad as this, I'm sure.

I'll probably watch them, when I'm in the mood for some punishment.
