...so, it's generally agreed that this is an awful movie...my first glimpse (on TV) involved a short scene of a reverend digging a fresh grave in a cemetery: did anyone happen to notice the over-sized weathered headstone with '1886', and yet the movie is supposed to be set in 1882? If the mistakes were just in continuity, at least it would be fun to watch. As it happened, we were either bored or slightly less bored in the action scenes - had to turn to a different station 20 minutes in. The question remains: Why waste the celluloid? My advice is to not bother wasting the brain space, because there are so many other westerns that incorporate ghosts/martial arts/retribution in a much more palatable package. Too bad - I was looking for a Gary Busey movie that was more than his standard "bad guy" persona. Oh, well,,,

Michael Worth stars as a gun-runner who goes up against the local mobster (Gary Busey) who wiped out Worth's friends and family years ago, however a mysterious blonde has returned and is killing of Busey's gang one by one, also on hand is Jeff Fahey who is fairly useless to the High Plains Drifter rip off storyline. When I think westerns I don't think of dynamic martial artistry combining with six-shooters. There is a problem of tone and due to this the movie never gels and we are left to flounder in the silliness of watching a hybrid of two genres that never mix that well. The best of these hybrids was Lone Wolf McQuade but the movie this reminds me was the Olvier Gruner starred dud The Fighter. Which also combined kickboxing with western antics, the western ripped off there was Shane, where as this one rips off High Plains Drifter, even down to the "twist" at the end. This is of course a very silly effort but Dustin Rikert is not much of an action director and for this the movie is fairly dull.*1/2 out of 4-(Poor)

Maybe i was watching another movie, but the movie i saw had jokes, sex, and some cool martial arts moves. I didn't pick this movie for sex scene or to get off on it, i saw the cover and through it would be cool. And i even bought it, the lead actor is cool guy i seen him in other movies. This is the kind of movie you get from blockbuster or the library when you just seen everything else and you need a change. I can't wait to see the TV series when it comes out. I think you should have a open mind when seeing any movie and watch it twice because you always miss something when you first see it.:)

first of all i stumbled across this movie on show-time about 5 in the morning when i couldn't sleep and nothing else was on. i like westerns and love martial arts movies so i thought id check it out.well there's nothing great about this movie in fact there's not much good about it. everything about it is average, the acting, the script, the directing, all in all its a average direct to video movie. the gun fights are OK nothing spectacular. the martial arts are probably the best thing in this movie but not nearly enough to make the movie any better.warning spoilers ahead some things i had a problem with, the hole ghost thing was a little weird. how is a ghost gonna interact with everyone, hold cards, push stuff around, drink a beer, and shoot people.some people are complaining about the clichés and the fact that a few scenes are taken from other movies. that doesn't bother me. there will always be clichés in movies. and one of the greatest directors from my generation takes bits and pieces from other movies all the time, and the director i speak of is none other than quentin tarintino.all in all if your up late and cant sleep and stumble across this go ahead and watch it if u like direct to video b movies and western / martial arts movies, but don't expect much.
