I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

... View MoreReading the comments and looking over the voting can give a good idea of what to expect. Most votes have been either ones or tens with more ones than tens. The lack of polish and film professionalism contributed to the ones. But then the film was by musicians, not experienced film-makers and actors. And there are reasons for those tens. In my view though the continuity was rough many scenes were well-done. Props were good. Excellent make-up. Original story (for me anyway) with a couple of neat twists towards the end. Music a strong point. I found the film different from anything I have ever seen, and I have watched lots of westerns. As for the lack of polish, I can do without the polish. So it comes to a matter of taste. If your mind can blank out certain weaknesses, you might really enjoy this film.
... View MoreI wanted to put a minus 10 (-10) for a rating. Without a doubt the worst movie I have seen. I would be ashamed to tell anyone that I saw this movie. What an atrocity. I wasted an hour and a half of my life looking at this piece of garbage. I love spaghetti westerns right from the beginning. As far as the direction goes Leone was the best. Morricones scores are magnificent, I have them on cassettes and disks and originally started collecting LP records with the movie scores. This picture is a unbelievable insult to the names of Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone, and also to the actors like Eastwood and VanCleef, and some of those Italian actors who were very good. The actors try to mimic them. The result is disgusting. and an insult to the classic genre of the great Spaghetti Westerns.
... View MoreI watched this not knowing what to expect. At first I thought maybe the spaghetti western cinematography was just part of the intro (which feels like 3 intros), so when it kept on with this style I was a little annoyed. As I continued to watch though, it continued to pull me into it's wacky world and I loved it until it's strange ending. The camera angles, old looking grainy film, and low budget acting (I think some of these guys are in bands) allowed me to forgive this movie's flaws more so than a bigger budget would have allowed me to. It has a charming sort of bad acting that is made up for by a cool plot and great characters. While not for everyone, I loved this movie and could see the Tarantino, Rodgiguez crowd eating it up.
... View Moreand was blown away. The first 15 minutes are slow and the acting a little bad, but after that -- Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a Western done for this little money -- I'm guessing someone in Hollywood is going to see the director and immediately put him to work on Crank 3 or something. The look of the film is daring, audacious, and totally makes the movie. The acting -- well let's say it's an homage to the Spaghetti Westerns of the 60's! Which is good.There is one other low budget flick I can compare this too -- PARIAH. This film is just as ballsy, and I am impressed by both. Also PI! I don't want to give away the plot too much as it's not out yet -- my friend is a critic -- can't say for whom and he was reviewing it when we watched....I've heard rumors it will be in theaters -- if it is -- you've got to check it out -- I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Otherwise buy it on DVD - this film reminds me of two of my favorites -- BOONDOCK SAINTS and SIX STRING SAMURAI -- for those of you who don't know Six String -- rent it now! Okay I'm not going to gush anymore, but I enjoyed it a lot.My two cents.
