Gorehounds, Don't Be Misled By Opening Sequence!

When the movie started up, it opened with a bank robbery that was pretty damn gory. Innocent people and bank employees being butchered by these bandits.

[SLIGHT SPOILER: It even featured a character getting his head completely blown off; blood sprays intact. (END SPOILER)]

After seeing this, I was thinking that I was in store for quite a bloody ride. Boy, was I wrong! For the next hour and 20 minutes, I waited quietly for the killings to get graphic. They never did.

It's a bit disconcerting to see these good people inside the bank being shot to pieces by these outlaws, who happen to be our main characters. I was thinking that if the innocents are gory fair game, the deaths of the criminals would be very graphic. Not the case. Also, these robbers don't display any of the robbery bloodlust after the actual bank robbery. It's like their personalities change on the way to the plantation.

One thing I did enjoy was the early overcast forest footage. Being a Mississippian, I love the way the Southern atmosphere appears on the screen. Wish they would have done more daytime action.

I have a few more complaints, but I'll save all of that for my imdb review. But bottom line: really not worth the time.
