Dead Man's Hand

Not even five minutes into this movie I wanted to turn it off, but I stuck it out a full half hour before eventually giving up on this unwatchable western. From the soundtrack to the unbelievable acting I wasn't drawn in by any aspect of this movie.

None of the characters make an attempt to even sound period appropriate. Dialogue is flat and uninteresting. Despite having some of the Yellowstone actors on set, even they couldn't make this movie bearable to watch. Cole Houser gives the most believable Cowboy performance of the cast, and even here I was disappointed that there wasn't more grit in his character and dialogue. There rest of the cast seems to be what today's Hollywood thinks a Cowboy should be and it's not at all believable.

I can't make much more of a review because I admittedly tapped out of this train wreck early, but I doubt anyone was going to suddenly learn how to portray a western cowboy if they didn't figure it out in the first half hour.

Save your time and find another western to watch, this one will disappoint even the most casual western fan.

Too bad that Forrie J Smith and Cole Hauser couldn't pull this move out of the ditch.

THEY were great, and should have had a much more front and center role....and obviously should have had a more hands-on participation in the movie... They likely could have saved it. Forrie and Cole know ho to make it all work.

The scenes they were in were great. The rest of the movie was sadly lacking...obviously though no fault of Forrie and Cole.

I'm hoping to see them team up with a better project very soon.

Forrie and Cole were just great, the rest of the story was sadly lacking, in terms of continuity and believability.

Bring on more Forrie and Cole Westerns... Just Do Better! :) They shouldn't be expected to carry the ENTIRE movie, especially when they aren't the main characters.

They were basically the only good things about this project!

Fingers crossed.

This might be the worst western I have ever seen. The plot is completely nonsensical, the editing was terrible, and the acting was just the worst. The soundtrack is plain bad. Do not waste your time or money on this garbage. I have never felt compelled to write a review until the credits started to roll on this film. The random violence has no pertinence to the story, the supernatural effects come off as absolutely silly. The only thing that comes close to redeeming this pile is Cole Hauser basically playing Rip Wheeler in the Old West, however even that is not enough to justify the awful things that go on around him in this bad bad bad movie. Do not waste your time.

What a hugely failed attempt at creating a good western to help fill the gap left by Yellowstone! Not even Cole Hauser or several other good actors could save this awful movie. I don't know if it was a combination of bad writing or really bad acting on the part of main characters but I cringed at most of it. The plot was okay, sort of, but somehow just didn't click. I thought it was amateurish, corny, slow, even boring. Maybe if Cole Hauser, Foree, and Brings Plenty had more important roles it could have helped redeem this picture, but as for me, it was a real disappointment. Don't waste your money or time.

If your sick on the couch , looking for something to pass the time, skip this, unless you're going to take a nap soon It's that bad. I re-rounded a couple of times thinking I missed something because I couldn't possibly be seeing what I was seeing .

I tried selling it to my husband "it can't be that bad because it has several of the Yellowstone cast members in it." Maybe it was co-written by Taylor Sheridan I said. :-) Nope. No such luck I sure hope they paid Cole enough money to make it worth his while.

The soundtrack alone will make you want to turn the volume down. It is annoying as it gets.
