Why so much hype?

Admirable film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

FOX. Original screenplay: George Daniels. Photography: Gilbert Warrenton. Film editor: Fred Maguire. Art director: Fred Preble. Music director: Ozzie Caswell. Assistant director: Melville Shyer. Producer: Vincent M. Fennelly.Copyright 6 May 1951 by Monogram Pictures Corporation. No New York opening. U.S. release: 6 May 1951. No British or Australian theatrical release. 51 minutes.SYNOPSIS: An unscrupulous sheriff and his henchmen are actually responsible for both a kidnapping and the theft of gold bullion.COMMENT: Despite its "Blazing Bullets" title, "blaze" is exactly what bullets do not do in this very tame Monogram western. Filmed on the cheap in very long takes, abounding with lots and lots of talk, but only piddling dribbles of action, this little movie (it runs only 49 minutes on television) has virtually nothing to recommend it, save Johnny Mack Brown's pleasing personality! (And even that little windfall is lessened by the fact that Johnny is obviously getting just a little too old for these hero-to-the-rescue roles).
