SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

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

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Michael Ledo Back in Texas, post Civil War, a group of outlaws lead by Claude "Sweet Tooth" Barbee (Justin Meeks) spring a gang member and have designs to grab hidden gold in Galveston, about 500 miles away. Upon going there, the gang numbers increase as they leave a trail of blood. The film is about their journey...and then suddenly they realize someone is hunting them.This was an interesting western using lines like, "put some space betwixt us." The opening credits had "Spaghetti Western" written all over it, but this was close to grindhouse with all the killing and blood. At times it seemed they were spoofing westerns. It does have some mild humor, and what the heck was that Dutch guy doing?I wasn't able to figure out the killing until they explained it. One character was named Tom Nixon (Larry Grant Harbin) but as far as I can tell it was not supposed to be real life outlaw Tom Nixon.The film is a blend of grindhouse and western and not a great film as a single genre, but entertaining if you try not to make it into something it is not. Doesn't require as much genre blending as "Gallowwalkers" to enjoy.The producers claim the film takes place in 1900. "The Eyes of Texas" which was performed in this feature, was written in 1903.Guide: No swearing. Brief sex, brief nudity.

classicsoncall Despite it's flaws, I had a pretty good time watching this Western flick. The main problem, if I had to point to one, was the presence of characters that had no introduction, had some meaningful impact on the story, and then disappeared without a trace. The demon Indian with the electrically charged eyes was just such a character; if I had to guess, and I do, he's identified in the cast list as 'Ghastly Monstrosity'.A couple others were the 'twin' boys, one of which was killed by Claude 'Sweet Tooth' Barbee (Justin Meeks), the other sending Barbee to his eventual demise. Who were they? What was their motivation? It would seem that one of the boys, the one that was shot by Barbee, was 'marking' the outlaws for tracking by either that Indian or the unnamed bounty hunter. At least one could figure out what the bounty hunter was up to by the end of the movie.So in the tradition of some of your noteworthy slasher films, the core group of six bad guys all fall one by one at the hands of various forces as they intend to retrieve a fortune in gold stashed by one of the men following an earlier robbery that went bad. The nominal head of the Nixon gang (Larry Grant Harbin) was the first to go; presumably he died in his sleep as a result of natural causes, though others who had their dreams interrupted often wound up with body parts cut up. The whittling down of the outlaw gang pretty much went ahead by formula, with new gang leader Claude and sidekick Slap Jack Davis (Paul McCarthy-Boyington) just about making it to the end of the picture.Keeping the film at it's minimalist roots was one of the better things about the movie. Cinematography was decent, and even though the acting was sub-par in spots, most of the characters held up their end. For all the question marks about the characters in pursuit of the Nixon Gang, I thought the resolution with Claude sharing his ultimate grave with hooker Pearl (Arianne Martin) a distinctly creative touch. Though the pop-gun sound effects of the gunfire managed to bother me somewhat, this was one of the few Westerns that accurately depicted the lack of shooting accuracy for the era, as hand guns weren't very reliable for more than twenty feet or so. Which went a long way to explain how opponents shooting at each other in an open field without cover often managed to remain standing and unharmed.

ludibrium This is a real nice western, if you can get past the fact that we'rent in the 2000's. Then you will do fine, i think its awesome they tried to enact actual gunslinger emotions rather than try out some transformer-"stuff".I have to say, these guys are on a drama-level.I haven't heard about any of them but i have to say i was pretty impressed with their performances:).i very much enjoyed the movie!Hmpf. OK.Im not gonna give you a poem!

Chicky5150 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.
