This is a thoroughly acceptable retelling of the 'outlaws run amok in a good old-western town' scenario set in modern times. This film, which is technically an action/adventure, can almost be seen as an homage to the shoot-'em-up cowboy films of a bygone era. It pits a lackluster actor doing hourly shows as a badguy in an old-west theme town against a vicious, win-at-all-costs leader of a motorcycle gang and his thugs. The characters are strong, and if you allow the usual 'willing suspension of disbelief' (and like a little meat to your movies) you will probably have a fun time watching this flick.

This inconceivably bad movie teams up comedian Joe Torry and former LB Brian Bosworth in what can only be described as an action/comedy. It fails, however, in being much of either. The scenes look barely choreographed, the dialogue is insipid, the characters look uncomfortable with one another, the action is stilted, the F/X look twenty years old, the plot has no connection whatsoever with anything resembling reality, and the continuity makes the scenes look like they were put in order by drawing them out of a hat. Of the hundreds of movies that I've watched and rated, this is one of four to receive a rating of "one."

Best of the BMW 'The Hire' series to date. This excellent blend of sight and sound brings a chuckle to the viewer as soon as the action starts. The irreverent view of music superstars that this story presents us is ironic considering the director, Guy Ritchie, and the person playing the star, Madonna, are married.
