Trilha de Sangue

Even a half-decent cast couldn't save this drearily paced script. (I say half-decent because although Thomas Jane has been in some good movies, neither Sam Worthington nor Heather Graham ever need to get excited around Oscar nomination time).

The story itself seemed a little stupid as well. Worthington is cursed that he will be killed by one of his offspring (should have kept it in his pants) so he kills them off first before they get a chance to do him. It seems like most of them were totally unaware of who he was anyway, so if he had just left well alone, he needn't have worried. By going out of his way to find them, he actually puts himself at risk. The story was so slow and dreary that I ended up fast-forwarding through most of it. Even so, I knew what the ending was going to be. I rated it a generous 3 (and one of those was because of the cameo appearance by Heather Graham's nipples!).

I love Westerns, but there have been some absolutely dire ones released in the past couple of years. I am keeping my fingers crossed that "1883" will live up to expectations.

Acting was on par. The script was all over the place and just weird . Could have been longer , more in depth . There's alot of wtf? And huhs? Then oh damns... Should have been a 3 hour western , especially if you're going to have chapters and characters that you need to build the story up. It was kinda like we only have money to make at 60 min movie ... I don't know the budget but if you get someone who can rewrite the script , use the same actors it could be way better . Gotta give this a 3/10 but could be 8/10.. wow . Deserves more attention. Higher budget, 3hours long and way better writers .

The movie wasn't the worst I've seen but far from the best. The scenery was beautiful. I think the cast did the best they could with a lackluster script. Sam Worthington was excellent and I found Colson Baker to be excellent as well. Heather Graham fell short for me but it could be the role. I would have enjoyed a bit more character development and background about the prophecy. It is best described as a Greek tragedy set in the western genre. Too bad the full potential of the story and cast wasn't utilized. I still recommend watching it. It is only around 95 minutes.

Terrible script, beautifully filmed. Amazing scenery and lighting. Very weird/cool soundtrack. But, it could have been so much better. The first 30 min is like a 'mumblecore' film, I had to use subtitles. It picks up a bit, but never really gets going. If you're bored, on a cold night, you could do worse than to watch this. But, I wouldn't go out of my way.

Acting was good however, the script and the horrible editing gave this movie it's fatal blows.

What on earth was with the pointless and constant landscape views and mindless walking with no meaning.

Disappointed because the cast was a recipe for success.
