All Hell Broke Loose (2009)
Are you Sure this is a Western?
Yes, like many, we fell for the false advertising on the DVD box and paid good money to watch this movie. It takes about 5-10 minutes of watching this movie to realize it should be moved from the 'Western' genre to the comedy category. The movie is more along the lines of a Mel Brooks flick since so much of it is plain laughable!
First, exactly how many sheriffs does this town have? And did fat sheriff #4 not get a horse with his job? Instead we see him huffing and puffing after he WALKED to his friend's ranch to warn the wife of danger - that is when he remembered his lines.
We didn't know that old west towns had Home Depot windows, used a single person to paint all the business signs and favored the color purple. For all the action this town saw it sure had lovely grass-covered streets. We can definitely see why they needed additional security in this movie since the bank's doors look like cardboard painted by 1st grader who could not color between the lines. We loved the miraculous healing of the dead and wounded. Not only do the dead resurrect and the wounds move to different body parts by the next scene, but they are completely healed by the next scene. The only thing we must note is that the death toll in this movie is pretty low since no one can shoot the broad side of the barn.
And finally the hero: the 'sharp' shooter. We are not sure what he was sharp at, but a 'shooter' he was not. We cheered when he finally blew up the pretty little new and blue camp coffee pot from Walmart after going through at least two boxes of shells.
As far as David Carradine, he would have been better casted as the dead body in the coffin. I'm sure his training in the martial arts would have allowed him to hold his breath longer and play dead better then the person that held that role.
And don't forget the mystery of the long lost daughter - did she morph into the spinster who got all the goods in the end?
