A Fistful of Lead

... if you want to believe all the high rating reviews ... that's your choice , i've seen the movie and have no connection to the film makers ... to me it's low budget rubbish, poor acting, poor script , action is belittled by the cheap CGI and cheap props ... i want my money back!

Awful. Horrible acting and strong reliance on campy gore, because that's all they've got. My stepfather has inflicted a LOT of awful westerns on us, but this could possibly be the worst ever. I'd comment on the plot, but I'm not sure there was one. I was possibly distracted by the continual sprays of blood on the camera lens. Kind of edgy the first time you see it, but after about the 800th time it has definitely lost its shock value.

Unbelievable that with all the knowledge filmmakers have , it is still possible to make such a bad movie. Bad direction. Bad acting. Bad costumes. You see it already in the first two minutes. What were they thinking?

Okay, let me admit that I didn't get all the way through this movie - about halfway was all I could take.

Less than ten minutes in and I really wasn't sure if I was supposed to take this movie seriously. The direction is appalling which made the, I suspect adequate, acting come over badly as well.

From the outset both characters and 'extras' make moves and actions that make absolutely no sense in the real world and with script written, I think, by the Director's seven-year-old as a class project the whole thing moved to the point where I simply couldn't "suspend disbelief". The jumpy handheld camera didn't add anything it simply made me feel nauseous. (Always remember that handheld cameras are mainly used because they are far, far cheaper than the use of full trolley and rail cameras. This was so obviously the reason here.)

There are so many good movies out there, western and other genres, don't waste your time - watch a good movie.

So why not one star instead of two? The costumes were quite good...

If you start this movie, be advised: it's rubbish... Bad acting, bad directing, lousy dialect and crap lines.. It might be a fun watch... But i can't watch it all the way through... Story seems fair enough: bandits robbing a bank , a posse going after them, could be the start of an exciting story, but it's hard to stay serious or focused if you will, when the acting is so bad... They is action, no problem there, duels and shootouts, but not enough or good enough to make me watch the movie ... Shootings just can't make up for thick British accents and lines like: "i just got in from Essex"... Rating: 2/10.
