Quantity over quality

Rating: 2/10 (16 July 2006)

I saw this movie a few years ago, and I won't see it again.
The first half of the movie is a somewhat amusing low-quality western. The acting is poor, worse than most TV westerns, and the production is average at best, but the story works as a kind of parody of classic western stories. I wasn't impressed but somewhat amused. But the ending is a total disaster. A long hunt is summarized to many short cuts in very high tempo. It is almost a music video tempo, and there is absolutely no plot left, just a repetitive kill-kill-kill, a clear case of quantity over quality. The movie producer seems to think the movie gets better the more people that we see killed.
The opening is tasteless and over-done, where the "cowboys" gang massacres an entire village because someone in that village killed a gang member. I see the point, it presents the bad guys, but it is too long, had been better left out. Again, there is no point in showing every separate death.
So, the movie has its greatest moments in the first half, where something meaningful actually happens and there is interaction and tension. The death of the sheriff (by accident) is the only violent scene in the movie that is well done and memorable.
Skip the ending (and trim the opening) and it is a decent low-quality western. But as delivered, it is garbage. Leave it in the bargain bin.
