Great cast, good story, bad everything else! I caught this late one night and noticed the great cast so I decided to give it a chance! Baaaad idea! This really was not a good film! Now I think Dwight did a good job of filming, the scenery was nice and all, all and all a beautifully shot film, but everything else fails! Where Dwight did a good job on filming, he did a a HORRIBLE job on the script! The overall story is a good concept that could have definitely worked, but the script is just bad! The great cast could not save the script, but as bad as the script was the acting was almost as bad!

Every actor, even the great Billy Bob Thorton, looked lost! It seems like in every scene the actors were improvising, thinking very hard, and slow, about what to say! The pace was horrible! I swear to God there is and average of 5 seconds between each sentence in this film! The so-called action scenes sucked, oh, and did I mention how horrible the script was! So basically what I'm saying is, with a good script, this movie good have been pretty good, if the actors would have then pulled their wieght! It felt like a slow paced 50's western! Totally not up to date in the film making! I wanted to like it, I really did, but I couldn't!

Nowhere near as bad as "The Passion of the Christ" though it does come close to "Manhunt on Manure Island" which was retitled "Torture Island Barn Dance" just last year.

What a convoluted tub of *beep* I'm a big fan of alot of the players in this movie but it was poorly acted. I think they hired a high school AV assistant to edit the mess as well. But in fairness, if it could''ve been pulled off with a higher level of skill this movie had the potential for some great Peckinpah moments. So it wasn't a total turdpie of the likes of Glitter or Gigli.

I watched this movie for the very first time last night, 3/4/11, & after it was over, I wondered how many "Razzies" it won! I nominated it for at least 5, & I'm usually easy to please!!!

I too liked it... but you can't take it seriously. I thought it was a comedy. Beware... here are some SPOILERS... // Setting the dude on fire with the lantern, stabbing the other guy's groin with the broken glass, falling at the bottom of the stairs and then getting shot. Now that's funny. / Blowing up the dead guy in the grave while blinding the gov. agent, the crazy lady trying to force-marry Yokam and getting blasted, the bad guy rides off dragging Yokam on his leg while hitting with the pistol only to get blown up... that's funny stuff. / AND, more people getting shot than a Schwarzenegger and Willis film combined! See... you just can't take this thing seriously. It's just entertainment.

Hm. Now that you mention it.... The violence in the flick was creative and stark. Took stock of that while it was happening, but it hasn't figured into my overall impression. Thanks for bringing that up.
