Sitting through "The Righteous and the Wicked," I kept waiting for some kind of "eureka" moment where there would be a revelation or some kind of detail that would come out to explain why things happened the way they did. Sadly, that moment never came.So lets get to the film. It starts with a grey haired man seeming to be living a relaxed life...until another man shoots him dead. In perhaps the most intriguing moment in the film, the older man was still alive when his killer was digging his grave. In one of the colder moments that I can think of in recent westerns, the dying man begs the other not to bury him alive...thereby inviting the inevitable kill shot.The rest of the film features a gang of six who plan to rob, and then rob a mining company of it's money. It is at this point when things just get really weird.Six becomes five when one gang member kills the other in a gun fight that was supposed to be staged to distract people. The odd thing is they pick two gang members with a tense relationship: the younger one impregnated the teen daughter of the other! Really? The gang leader couldn't determine that that was just a bad idea? Five becomes four when the grim reaper from the first scene turns up and kills the young security guard who was always part of the gang and helped them with the heist. The weird thing is that the young guard never hurt or killed anyone...and for a time, his killer seems to be trying to talk him into stopping. Then he begins prodding him...and ultimately, he kills the young guard.Four becomes three when the gang's leader kills the young guy who killed the other gang leader. They have a protracted conversation about whether to split the money six ways, five ways or four ways...it is as dull as it sounds! I didn't make it to the end...it just got too lame! I love Westerns, but I can't recommend this pile of horse manure! A couple of cute guys in it, but for the most part, just boring!

This movie is so bad that it appears that Elizabeth Obermeier, Marketing Manager for Grindstone Entertainment Group who wrote the "Storyline" for the movie didn't even watch it. I don't blame her. She says that "Hobbs, a notorious wanted bandit, gets caught up in a violently competitive hunt for stolen cash when he finds out outlaws have robbed the local bank ..." Hobbs actually gets killed by "Marion" before the credits even run and the rest of the Storyline is equally inaccurate. I think it is for another movie. Marion is a completely undeveloped character in the movie who wanders around killing off one of the most inept gangs I have ever seen in a western for a reason we never learn. He does it in a deadpan manner that can't even get the attention of the horses standing beside his victims when the shots are fired. It is obvious that the actors have very little skills riding a horse and, in fact, it appears some of them have never been on a horse before filming this stinker. Lionel sits on his horse holding the reins like he was behind a plow and nobody breaks into a trot let alone gallop. It is hilarious, I am sure unintentionally, to see the bad guys fleeing from the scene of their robbery at a plodding walk. But maybe it wasn't unintentional, maybe this was meant to be a comedy.

This may seriously be the worst movie I have ever seen. There is no content! Everything that happens in this movie could be summarized in a single short paragraph. The dialog is horrible, the acting is worse, and everything happens at a snails pace. This may be the only western movie I've watched where you never see a horse run. A character commands the other to "get moving" and they respond by spurring the horse into a slow plod. Completely ridiculous. The "gunfights" in this movie even prove to be dis-interesting. I use the term cautiously as there are no actual gunfights included - they are, in actuality, executions.

"Nobody needs the trouble but we all need the money." After a local bank is robbed a group of outlaws begin a chase to find the money. There is not much to say about this movie. Like most of the westerns lately it is flat, pretty boring and full of bad acting. This one is not as bad as most mainly because it is so boring and the acting is flat and emotionless there is really nothing to talk about. This one has quite possibly the worst "duel" gunfight scene I have ever seen it's almost worth watching just to see that. Overall, better then most of the newer westerns that have been released, but still for the hardcore western fan only. I give it a C.
