Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I just got the DVD I love this Movie Every since I seen it on TV took for ever to find it on DVD for USA. It funny how his gun never need to be reloaded but two to three times. there are a few great one liners in this movie.If you think Clint Eastwood did some far out shooting wait till you see this he kills more men in one shoot out then Clint would do in one movie.Emilio Estevez is a one man army he has handguns that seem to appear out of no were If you like Spaghetti Westerns your sure to love this one. It is filled with comedy as well as lighting fast gun play As they search for all the section of the map to the cash of confederate gold The movie could use a few more twist and turns but it great just the way it is I have watch it three times this week to me it is Awesome.Also buy the way I found the DVD on amazon.com.

While i have not yet seen the famous films of Sergio Leone,i have to say that i still found this film to be pretty enjoyable. The plot:One day a lone stranger comes into a Western town and ends up having a drink with a vet of the American Cival War.The vet tells him that him and three other guys were each given 1/4th of a map by there Cival War captain(who got killed in the war a few days later.)Who had told them that its a map to where half a million dollars is!After hearing this,the stranger decides to help the guy out with finding the other pieces of the map.But with a bunch of gangs after them and a very poor town near by,they have to hope to get to the gold ,ans really deiced what to do with it. View on the film:Screenplay/direction-The film is written and directed by Gene Quintano.One of the disappointing things about the film is the interior scenes,because they are so under-lit that it looks like the actors are just standing in front of some planks of wood!This sadly lowers the "epic" feel of the film,also some of the over-the-top use of slow-mo that sadly lessons the effect of it when its used well(the horse sliding backwards is easily the best it is used here.)Thought it has to be said that Quintano can do some clever stuff(Filming the camp fire scene in a great way,and cutting from the towns people to the stranger and the vet. The cast:I feel for this film i should highlight Emilio Estevezs performance.While i was a bit disappointed with his performance in the Western Young Guns,he has really improved as an scene then.He does a good job at making the stranger a bit of a lighter person.instead of being completely dark. Final view on the film:A good (thought flawed) that you can watch with the family,and a good performance by Esterves.

Dollar for the Dead is a great little western experiment, and should be seen by all western enthusiasts - especially if you like Sergio Leone's western style, or almost any western with Clint Eastwood.The movie is pretty predictable all the way, but that's really missing the point. It never tries to be a great work of art - just an homage to the old spaghetti westerns.The style of the movie is great, it has all the right clichés, and the cast works well together - I especially liked William Forsythe in this movie. The movie is pepped up with a modern pace, hilarious over-the-top shootouts and a good dose of comic relief - which all works great. You just have to recognize the movie's almost sarcastic way of approaching the whole genre.A must-see for all fans of the genre - 8/10

I would have to say that this is the best Western, I have ever seen. It reminds you of the old Clint Eastwood movies, the stranger without a name. The only thing I seen wrong was the fact that the stranger never seemed to run out of bullets. But it is still a ten.
