Wonderful character development!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Hardly watch any modern day movies so can't compare it to similar current releases . Although more vulgar , bloody , cruel than a Clint Eastwood spaghetti western they both probably are closer to b s than reality. The viewer may consider this film weird / strange but they won't fall asleep on it , that's why I gave it a 6 which may be slightly generous. A few minor notes ; actors may be hard to understand sometime while they try ( evidently ) real hard to sound like old west , uncouth , vulgar persons with a Southern drawl.....much attention is given to the outlaws having a dirty,grubby ( filthy ?) look which was in contrast to the clean look of the uniforms of the laboring prisoners making a break. In the same scene a guy has on a pair of long johns snow white clean , unusual for this movie .......The bad guys in this movie are a threat to mankind.

After seeing this Independent, unusual Film, I was taken back in just how well it was all put together. It had me fully entertained from beginning to the End! I recommend seeing it, to actually believe how truly "Magnificent" and different it is from others I have seen. It had me squirming, as well as Laughing, and just when I thought it couldn't possibly be any more hair raising, it really surprised me and blew me away! This puts a totally new meaning to the old "Spaghetti Westerns", which even as a Child, I could relate to. For I have watched plenty of them, with my Dad, and he would have Loved this one! God rest his soul. So, for those who haven't seen it, Check it out. I doubt you'll be disappointed!

This film won't appeal to everyone, it's more for people that watch a LOT of movies and tired of formulas.I can't quite tell you what this film is, at best it's a Weird Western and a good one. I did not know what was going to happen next, and the villains were the protagonists so that different as well.The strong point is the dialogue, Graves and Meeks have created a patois that is completely captivating. I don't know that it's historically accurate, but it felt like it came from another time, and it made a lot of the scenes work.Someone else can summarize the film, and those reviews are easy to find. I think that it's more important to set the proper expectation for this film. It doesn't fit neatly into any genre and it isn't predictable. If you can live with that, you're going to like this film.

Western theme has seen romanticized story of colorful men striving for a common goal, "Kill or Be Killed" might look like such movie on the surface, but it's far from a romancing tale. It can be as silly as schemes from Looney Tunes, then it turns completely in reverse with murder and rape. It's borderline thriller yet with sprinkle of crazy comedy, which is strangely alluring in its odd way.A group of outlaws is trying to recover their loot from previous heist. Along the way, they will meet incredibly arbitrary people with different ideologies and issues. These are no heroes by any stretch of imagination. In fact, nearly everyone, including the extras and supporting cast, are dysfunctional. The only thing that separates them is the level of severity.The accents used are heavy, each character sounds differently, though some are speaking with highly exaggerated tone and some might be too overzealous in their delivery. It tries to emulate the gritty ambiance of wild west, only for a few characters to show up looking smooth and modern compared to the others. However, one can't fault it for being predictable as it delivers twists and turns by every horse's gallop.Sometimes people would fall dead or go berserk at the drop of a hat. It would have light comedic moments then five minutes later it transforms into thriller grim gory tone. This jarring change translates to the action as well, guys would open fire in comical way, waving guns around while running, yet they would exchange gruesome homicide and attempted violation towards some girls.This is a truly bizarre tale, but there's inevitable draw of the unexpected. If peculiarity is your treasure, you'll find an abundance of it here.
