The one and only reason I watched this film was because Michael Madsen was in it, and I am a loyal fan to him, I knew that this was going to be awful as its the same director that did A COLD DAY IN HELL, also starring Madsen. I understand there is only so much you can do with a small budget, but come on please, I made a film last year for $1000 that was 10 times the quality of this, and Im still struggling to get noticed, this is insane, For the love of god when people in this movie get shot, where is the blood?? if you cant afford squibs, at least put blood in the area the person was suppose to have been shot, how hard is that. Please for the love of god Mr. Madsen keep away from this. You are so much better, you are the king in my book. But this is below you.
I've only watched it once. It's more of a history lesson than a western adventure.
But if might qualify as both, if you let it.
What was it about? It was about the lives of Cole Younger and Jessie James. And the lives they led and the lives they took.
Was it good, bad, indifferent, what? Maybe. It was certainly different. But I would not say indifferent.
The scenery was magnificent, settings quite authentic, and the symbolism was effective and compelling.
Was it really that bad? Not really. But maybe. Kinda depends on what you expect, doesn't it?
Was it interesting? Yes. At least I think so.
Did it make sense? Not too much. But what in life does?
Will I watch it again? Yes. If just to see what happened.
…as a drinking game.
Seriously: some buddies and I were talking about the worst movies ever made and it just sort of grew from there. Dead simple: every time there's a blatantly obvious mistake in the filming or plot, pause it and everyone drinks. If there's disagreement, only the one who pointed it out drinks. We've played it twice now…and only made it about halfway through the movie.
Other than that, it's not worth the bandwidth….seriously. My grandma taught to say something nice or not say anything at all, so…it left me 'speechless'. It also left me glad to have this bit of roadkill coyote fading into the rearview behind me. Meep, meep.
I enjoy trains and westerns, so not knowing anything about this movie I saw the cover and decided to give it a try. The first two minutes of acting gave me a sinking feeling this wasn't going to be pleasant. I should have turned it off then, but I gave it about 30 minutes before I did. I could no longer handle the bad acting or camera work. Any sets looked like they were made out of balsa wood in a garage. Character development didn't exist and most of the cast might as well have been cardboard cut-outs. If there is any positive for me with this movie; I did like the few shots of trains used. Beyond that, I would suggest that this movie only be used as a learning tool for other movie makers.
