Review of Dead Man's Revenge

Bruce Dern is the bad guy (what a "surprise") and Michael Ironside is the GOOD GUY (surprise!), in this failed mish-mash of a western. What starts out as a gritty revenge tale, eventually deteriorates into a ridiculous swindle scheme. The murky plot is rushed to conclusion, with very little character development of the numerous players. Believability is stretched to the maximum, and beyond the always interesting Bruce Dern and Michael Ironside, there is little here to like. I would have preferred a simple shootout instead of this convoluted western, which tries to be clever but fails miserably.................. - MERK
