The only thing I rented this for was because I am a huge David Carradine fan and have been for many years. The movie box misleads the potential renter/buyer into thinking David is the main character..for those of you who didn't look up the synopsis of the movie online first. David would be furious if he saw just how amateurish this movie came across as and I'm thinking had he lived he would have had a few things to say about it. He was great...the rest was a total disgrace. The director, camera work, dialogue, set decor, sound, picture and acting were sub par by professional standards.Poor script, poor delivery of a poor script. David again was "the rock" and steadily delivered as he has always done. One part at the beginning of the movie had the dialogue voiced over (so it had the look of lip syncing - you could see how some of it was not matched/synced well) simply because it was a wider picture of several cowboys in a green field of some kind...and obviously they couldn't afford proper sound equipment to use the original dialogue that was spoken in the scene I.E. a boom mic for starters. Characters seemingly made out of cardboard, emotionless delivery, terrible camera work..I remarked while watching it that if I didn't know better you would think a few acting school graduates had gotten together to make a movie using home video equipment on a shoestring budget. The premise of the movie is excellent - HAD THEY HAD THE BUDGET TO ACHIEVE THEIR LOFTY GOALS. You can't do a grand western on no money...and on the box it compares this movie to The Outlaw Josey Wales..that is laughable. My biggest issue aside from this other crap is the fact that Mr. Carradine has a supporting role and on the box you are led to believe he is the main star of the film. The images are all him in dramatic pose with gun in hand and you think "man this sounds like it could be really good". How many people have been suckered into renting this? Using David's image and name to sell this amateur garbage is the real disgrace..pure and simple. If you want to see a great latter day David Carradine movie, go and rent/buy Son Of The Dragon. You'll be surprised just how good that one is..as you will be/were surprised how terrible this one is/was. I would think they spent most of their movie money on getting David into the film..and then scrimped on everything else. Sorry, this was a total bomb..and I have been a fan of westerns for 30 years. The guy above saying don't listen to the negative reviews is no doubt inspired to say so by personal financial interests in seeing this film succeed.
Forget it, avoid it..at all costs.
