High Plains Invaders (2009 TV Movie)
2/10
Riddled with errors

Where to start...

While there were some good actors in this, in addition to some horrible performances, nothing could save this train wreck.

The writing was awful. The dialog corny. And the weaponsmaster should have been shot.

Let me explain. The setting is Colorado in 1892 if memory serves. The actors are turned loose with modern double-action revolvers. While you might find a model available back then, it would not likely have been in Colorado. Worse, two actors square off, the sound effect for cocking the gun is heard, and neither weapon is cocked.

Then, up against powerful badguys, the goodguys don't grab the long guns available in the Sheriff's Office...they ignore them at a time they need more firepower.

I could have put up with the cheesy CGI. But the movie just felt so amateurish, par for the course for a SyFy production these days.

Even Spike couldn't save this travesty.
