just saw it, and was completely floored. didn't look like an asylum production at all... could have been at the theaters. great acting, script was awesome, western town looked amazing! you guys, speaking to YOU (the asylum), need to start making movies like this from now on. if anyone has anything to bash about this film once it's released... you need a serious reality check. this one is the best film they've produced. things will just continue to get better at asylum if they go on from here (6 guns)....
Have to give credit when it's due. This was way better than the other stuff I have seen from Asylum. Thought the acting was good and the revenge plot never gets old. Worth a look.
im 20 minutes in... its pretty shocking so far. the whole rape and murder scene was a tall one to take in. in anycase, i havnt wanted to turn it off so far, so maybe thats a good sign
This is the worst western I have ever seen....I wish I hadn't bothered and I love westerns.....this is not even worth the price of a blank dvd it is produced on.....You must have been paid to make a comment like that....Utter rubbish...
Not really. In scenes where structural materials are exposed, such as under porch roofs and the inside of Frank's hotel room, it's clear that modern dimensional lumber is used rather than sawmill lumber. Many buildings are sheathed with 4x8 engineered sheeting rather than ship lap. When Will and Selena walk in the door for his surprise party you can see modern romex wiring running above the doorway (which is not visible in later scenes). There are several modern flush doors used, and the one to the privy where Russian Pete takes his final rest shows the reflection of a decal that has been painted over.
Not to say I didn't enjoy this movie overall; the acting's not bad, the script is decent although it's somewhat inconsistant, and the story, while hardly original, is solid. But very little attention was paid to details such as BJ McKay's 21st century "tourist" cowboy hat and the aforementioned period-incorrect building materials, and I think that needs to be acknowledged
You're right. I don't know what everyone is wittering on about concerning the acting, the script, direction, editing etc when we should be discussing how authentic some lumps of wood are.
The only lumps of wood I noticed were the ones doing the "acting".
I think you need to give some examples of how this movie is any good. It's a Van Dyke movie. The only thing missing is the old man Dick. Greg Evigan as the Sheriff lacked any real substance and should have had his monkey Bear with him to make his part more believable.
This is no where near the quality that the Coen brothers had with True Grit. The writer of the script played the outlaw which means that no one else is knocking down his door to hire him to act.
I agree. When I saw Asylum logo at the beginning I expected a big fast-forward fest, was very surprised when the movie made some sense and looked half decent. First from that crappy studio.
