Everything about this movie is lame. From the lame men who are never ready but should be for blood thirsty animals. To the use of coins from the 1970's to present. How do you use Lincoln Pennies, Roosevelt dimes and Jefferson nickels while gambling during the late 1880s? How hard is it to use fake coins from the era. Unfortunately, I started to watch it and got too far to stop. But it is a tough movie to watch.

6 Guns was the most disappointing thing since my son. I mean, how much more could you possibly screw a simple western movie? And while my son eventually hanged himself in the bathroom of the gas station, the unfortunate reality of 6 Guns is that it will be around. Forever. It will never go away. It can never be undone. I don't think i will be able to get back the 1 hour and 35 minutes I wasted watching this train wreak. If you want to watch a movie with horrible acting, story, characters, dialogue (crockpot in the 1800s? LOL), sets. Well this is a movie for you. It's like the director was like "It's stylistically designed to be that way and you can't undo that. But we can diminish the effects of it."

I disagree with the other reviewer comparing 6 Guns to True Grit. I don't see much similarity. But this movie 6 Guns has more or less the same plot as Hannie Caulder (1971) differing only in some details that make me like the older movie more. If you do not want to hear 1970s theme music then I guess you have a newer alternative, but it was already an 1800s western period piece in 1971 and I do not feel like we gained much from a newer remake with a low budget.Comparisons: In both movies outlaws kill a woman's family and rape her. She asks a bounty hunter to teach her to shoot and seeks revenge.Bounty Hunter: Barry Van Dyke does an okay job in 6 Guns playing the bounty hunter, but Robert Culp's bounty hunter in Hannie Caulder was more interesting and believable. Van Dyke's portrayal seemed too good natured to me, more like a religious monk/crusader than a guy who kills for pay. I preferred Culp's portrayal.Widow: Both films have an attractive leading lady giving an okay but not great performance as the vengeful widow. Outlaws: Borgnine, Elam and Martin are excellent in Hannie Caulder ranging from scary rapists and murderers to comic bungling robbers. The best performance I saw in 6 Guns was from Geoff Meed who seemed believably formidable and bad natured to me as the leader of the outlaws. Other supporting characters: In 6 Guns these were okay and nothing stand out. Supporting roles in Hannie Caulder were generally well acted and Christopher Lee playing a gunsmith character was very good.Set: 6 Guns seemed a bit claustrophobic to me with a limited number of sets / interiors. Hannie Caulder has expansive exterior location shots and more sets used.If you are interested in 6 Guns I suggest you watch Hannie Caulder (1971)

A through and through western revenge drama. Being filmed in 2010 do we expect more than we do from a classic like Hang 'Em High? Yes we do, and the film is lacking Clint Eastwood. Nonetheless taken at face value it's an hour and 30 minutes of overwrought entertainment. The woman protagonist who's family has been murdered, of course learns gun craft in less than the time it takes to bake a cake. Nice 20th century coins in the poker scene, BTW. The sheriff is a decent actor and gives the movie a bit of character, the bounty hunter is a stern father figure but is reaching. Almost all else is stilted and seems forced to a greater or lesser extent. Anyway, "bottles don't shoot back"..
