Wyatt Earp and Bass Reeves

I swear this is the first table reading of the script, or the direction was to deliver the lines with the least amont of inflection humanly possible. I could read the dictionary aloud with more conviction. With the number of people who who move to LA with stars in their eyes, these cannot be the best of the auditions. My son and his first year film school friends have put out better material as a school project. In fact, if this was a first year film school project, nobody associated with this project passed the class. The screenplay was poorly written, and it went downhill from there. I suggest a serious look at a career change!

This film is worth the watch. It has a magnetic plot and a historical figure, Wyatt Earp in tow as well. While the acting did seem overplayed and, I think, intentional, the film's charm is its audience left with trying to cope with what appears to be poor acting..

Another film comes to mind, Clint Eastwood's, Heartbreak Ridge. Each of the actors in this film overplayed his or her part just a bit. It was an intentional play from Eastwood.

In the musical realm, the late Floyd Cramer practiced a way of playing with his "slip note" style on the piano. This style wasn't "correct", but compellingly great.

"Wyatt Earp and Bass Reeves" is an overacted and slip note style of movie. This is its charm. I think a compelling movie that's probably greater the the paltry 4 rating I gave it.

I generally watch a movie from start to finish.. Even some bad movies.. This movie happened to be the worse of the worst.. Maybe I'm just spoiled on some of the better Wyatt Earp movies..

Where to start.. Lousy script.. Poor direction.. Laughable acting (They literally sucked).. Dismal continuity.. I never seen so many sparks come out of guns in a shoot-out.. I bet the armorer in charge was hiding during production.. Even the sound sucked..

Now, for the history part.. Most movies that portray Wyatt Earp usually don't get it right.. Some of the details are right.. Most of it is Hollywood.. There are no reports that suggest the two lawmen, WE. And B. R. ever met. I never read in any biographies of Wyatt to suggest he was building a town to be the boss of it..

I couldn't get further than a half hour into the movie.. That is a first for me..

Imagine someone made a truly horrible B movie then someone decided to make a Cliff Notes of it. After which someone read that truly horrible Notes synopsis and used it to make an even worse Z movie.

Sadly this description is still being very generous. It's an old story about a long black mystery train bringing the likes of 2 legendary western people together and had someone bothered to put some effort into the writing and acting could have been a decent movie even without A list actors. Literally the best thing I can say for this "train wreck" is that at least I didn't pay anything extra to watch it.

The acting in this movie is so bad I am barely an hour in and I have to switch to something else.

Me and my neighbors could do a better job acting this thing ouy. Holy moly, I hope they didn't pay these people much.

I don't intend to watch this movie to the end but this app is requiring me to write 600 letters in this review.

So the jist of this movie I am getting is some lady named Margaret that works for the Pinkerton Agency is looking for a black train and the locals are hem hawing around about this black train and it might be haunted. Well, my 600 letters are almost up so watcher beware!
