Wonderful character development!

best movie i've ever seen.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

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.

Really enjoyed this movie. An excellent plot and all performances were top notch as well as the authenticity. It has all the elements of a superb spaghetti western. The character development is richly textured through visual means. Dialogue is short but this only enhances the character development. The music is well suited to the plot - and there is no canned banal use of it. The plot provides a touch of comedy and irony based on the real circumstances of that time era. It is similar to one of the fine westerns Robert Duvall has starred in recently and is quietly gripping from beginning to end..If you are a western buff, you will definitely enjoy this film.

The first movie I ever saw that really made an impact was in the St John's hall in Waipukurau in about 1978. We didn't have a movie theatre in town, so on the odd Saturday arvo they would show films in the hall.Dad took me along one Saturday to see "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and fair to say I have been a died & true Western Fan ever since. In my house, we have Western Sunday's every cold & wet winter afternoon.This film is different, some people won't enjoy it. Do I enjoy it more because it's made in my country and I know some of the locations? I don't know, but I will say it even made my wife laugh and she hates Westerns! Give it a go, you may be surprised.

To be a great "bad" film, a movie must somehow keep your eyes glued to the screen will suppressing that nauseous feeling in the pit of your stomach urging you to press the stop button on the remote. In this regard, Good For Nothing is an overwhelming success. With a story line vaguely reminiscent of Two Mules for Sister Sarah, our protagonist (aka The Man) is an enigmatic drifter who blasts his way through the New Zealand landscape, all the whilst coping with ED, in search of love. The guns did look vintage, in a cool way, and the gun fights, while surreal by Hollywood standards, flirted with a dark comedic edge that may well have surrounded actual gun fights of the "real" west.Cinematography had its moments, but the soundtrack was rather disjointed often not coinciding with the action on the screen. A great movie to give as a gag gift for a special relative for the holidays. Whatever this movie has, it has in spades. As I must reluctantly admit, I watched it to the end and will be looking for the sequel. I'll add it to my personal list of favorite "bad" movies, along with Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

The plot of this movie is completely ridiculous. The dialog is non-existent and from what little is said, that might be a good thing.I have not disliked a western this badly since the MUCH over-hyped remake of 3:10 to Yuma.In case you think I'm a hater, I'll say I love the old Clint Eastwood westerns this movie is being compared to. This is just dumb...the "victim" has several opportunities to escape or even kill her captor and refuses to take action. The only possible explanation I can make up for that is a case of Stockholm syndrome which doesn't really seem to fit the circumstances of this movie in my mind.I want my $1.20 back from Redbox!!!!!!!!!
