Jesse James: Lawman

Without doubt the worst attempt at a Western movie, I have every seen.

There are simply very few positives, it's genuinely that bad.

I could point to some awful scenes, but I don't like spoiling it for others, EVEN something this badly made.

The acting is appalling!, the script should be saved for education purposes, to show film writers what not to do. "Let me tell ya!" it's just dreadful.

A small town is run by outlaws led by villainous Hoyt Killian. The mayor is powerless, the sheriff hires outlaw Jesse James to infiltrate the gang to put an end to their plans.

Kevin Sorbo tells the the story in flashback hinting that he is the older Jesse James. Peter Fonda plays the mayor but he must be had been in desperate need for money.

The film is amateurish, not only because of the turgid script but it is also badly made. You have gun scenes where you see actors standing behind trees just pointing and shooting. My young son could had got better results with his smartphone.

While this film is certainly not outstanding, it is not a dreadful as some have said. It has some negatives, some moments of utter stupidity, but some of the screenplay was not bad, and Sorbo, Fonda, and. Galligan do a pretty good acting job. Galligan suffers a little bit in gun battle sequences, of which there are not enough of, but the director did not get much out of the actors as it was in the scenes and that is because he was afraid to have them shoot em' up. The actors could not handle the guns. Galligan was mediocre at firing the guns and the others just plain stunk. The introduction of J. Frank Dalton is the most interesting part of this film, and Galligan, minus the shoot em' up sequences, does quite well. The fault here lies with much of the action sequences and the costuming. The coffin thing was utterly stupid. The only reason that I am giving it four stars and not three or two is becaue I felt Sorbo did such an excellent job, and Fonda. Most of the set pieces look too new and the costume people did not even attempt to make some of the costumes not look like Halloween costumes, but it is watchable.

Truly an awful film. Not even the kind of awful you can enjoy by laughing at it. Just awful in every way. I am angry and want my time back for watching this garbage.

What is wrong with people these days? I enjoyed this for what it is, not what it coild be.

The film is low budget, somehow funny, but worth seeing.

Enjoy the show.
