Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Story line aside, the picture is stylistically and cinematically a visual treat. I guess there are some viewers who don't go for the dark and gritty look, but that only adds to the demonic flavor of Guerrero's (Danny Trejo) mission to take out the former members of his Blackwater Gang. I'm not too clear on why Red Cavanaugh (Anthony Michael Hall) turned his back on brother Guerrero, so that could have been spelled out a bit better.I guess if you wanted to make a demonic Western, you couldn't pick a better pair of leads than Trejo and Blacksmith Mickey Rourke. The scary part is that they look pretty much the same off screen. I liked the idea of the six pine boxes gimmick, and if you weren't keeping track, the outlaws went down as follows - Baptiste, Ramos, Darko, Washington, Snake and Red. Guerrero's execution of his fellow travelers followed a fairly typical formula, and I thought there should have been a little twist for not making the midnight deadline, but he was only off by two minutes. The film did everything it could to prove it's opening narrative - "The real West was a heartless, lawless vampire pit".

I just got done watching this wonderful movie!Trejo never gets the full credit he deserves!!! He was a fantastic actor in this movie.... I gave it a 10!! I do not want to add spoilers or anything, so all I can say is watch it! Great movie..... Some of these negative reviews I read....wow.... Yea, Orourke may have went off the deep end, but if any of you watch the awards shows, back when all the BS ( one of the reviewers wrote about) started, everyone was protesting (started by Leno himself, I may add...) plus, Orourke TEMPORARIly went insane as some call it, due to his dog passing,and he mentioned all of this when he stood on stage ACCEPTING his well deserved award( Grammys, by the way :)) So yes, actors are human just like you and I, everyone deals with a loss and such differently. He loved his dog n made that perfectly clear..... no excuse, but hey..... however, people.... that has nothing to do with acting.. The way an actor does his job, is for our enjoyment..not for us to sit n judge him because of personal problems. if he is a good actor, great let him know it n be supportive, if he is a bad actor, so be it but do not judge a great actor because he may have lost a family member, or owes a debt, u get my point..lol, so to the writer of that review...an opinion is one thing, but as far as trying to state facts, please get them straight. Trejo was excellent in this film and EVERY film he has been in and Orourke will ALWAYYS have my support!@

Review: This is your everyday western with a little twist. Basically, Trejo trades his soul for 6 others, with the devil who is played by Mickey Rourke. The storyline isn't totally bad, but the execution by the director is average. The acting isn't top class and the music is quite annoying, but what do you expect from a straight to DVD movie. There's loads of shot-outs and some of the scenes are pretty gruesome, but not unwatchable. I wasn't expecting that much when I hired this movie and I wasn't that surprised with the outcome. Average!Round-Up: Whenever you see Danny Trejo as the leading actor in a movie, you know that it's going to be a B class movie that hasn't got a massive budget or A class actors. He seems to be churning out loads of movies nowadays, but the older that he gets, the better his acting skills are getting. That's not to say that he's a top class actor, but at least he is becoming watchable. In the earlier times in his career, he always played bit parts alongside big names like Pacino and De Niro, but now he seems to be getting the bigger payday as the lead. He doesn't really have to say or do much in his movies because of his shear presence, which is why his movies will never be massive blockbusters. As for this movie, it's really what it says on the tin so don't expect anything out of the ordinary.Budget: $5.2million (WOW!) Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are into there Westerns about a gang whose hunted by there former leader. 3/10

Not exactly a great movie, got dumber the closer it got to the end. Glad I didn't spend a lot of money to rent it. The plot was OK, but not very creative, Bad guys steal, take over a town, blah blah ... Cool Gun the lead character had looked like a twelve shot revolver, Great Job, Showing how Greed destroys everything, but in real life I think more greedy thieves get away with it than ones that get caught. Would have been cool if they had the actor, tell someone what kind of guns he was shooting. One cute girl in the movie, action was stupid, a lot of shooting but nobody hitting anything, lol Call of Juarez Pc video game was kinda similar. The pace of the action was off, looked like Chips Highway Patrol with horses.
