The Bounty Men

The movie as a whole is an amazing feature. Even if you pick apart individual performances, they all stand up and hold their own. Dylan Hobbs' performance is his best one to date. It was subtle and is able to speak volumes with his eyes. Tom Zembrod's performance as the main villain brings an almost likeable element to an otherwise dark character. Both did amazing work. The rest of the cast bring really good performances to add flavor to the movie. The cinematography, costuming, and setting are all beautiful. It all comes together to give the movie a genuinely Western feel. Very well done.

A combination of 100 westerns without a hint of what makes them what they are. Poorly directed. Poorly written. Overacted by the bad guy and underacted by the lead. Crap crap crap.

Classic good guy bad guy story following a formula that has been successful for most other westerns, and this one is better than average. Dylan Hobbs completely nails it along with the resto f the cast. Brett Bentman has proven himself as a good western director. Haters come out like cockroaches to attack him.

I love westerns. I'm 67 years old, and I've most likely seen every western movie ever made at least once. Dusk to dawn westerns at the drive-in theater were the norm when I was a teenager. I grew up during the golden age of TV westerns like Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Rawhide, and Wagon Train. I'm usually pretty open-minded when it comes to low budget movies such as this movie, however, watching this movie was painful. There was simply too much overacting going on throughout the entire movie. I don't blame the actors. It's totally obvious that the director is the one at fault here. No talented director would have ever allowed such overacting and cliché filled scenes. The faux The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly music at the end of the movie's climax made it even harder to take. Honestly, I'd love to see Dylan Hobbs in a movie written and directed by more talented individuals, but only after he's gotten some constructive criticism from experienced actors who have seen this movie.

If any reviews rave about this being a decent western, they haven't watched a decent western. The plot was decent, and that's as far as it went. No clue who the actors were but they seemed like folks that weren't very skilled at their jobs. I gave it a half hour but after that, I couldn't handle any more. Even the background music grated on my nerves. I think the first give away for me was at the very beginning. This was supposed to be just after the civil war yet the opening scene had a stainless steel pot hanging over an open fire. Stainless steel was invented in 1913... The next let down was when people only standing a few yards from one another and a gun fight erupts, yet no one hits anything. And these people grew up with guns in their hands? Seriously? I can't even recommend this if you're desperate for something to watch since for me commercials on TV are more interesting.
