Gunfight at Dry River

Weird this hasn't got great reviews. Maybe it's not been watched by Western fans, I am a fan and this didn't dissapoint. I've noticed it has two titles one with 'Gunfight at' in it. Maybe people watched that and expected more action. There was some action, some quite brutal but in small doses. Its a drama with some interesting characters played by a likable cast. A couple very strong female characters too. Yes, it's low budget but that's nobodies fault. A few parts are slow but there are sone tense moments and it's well worth you're time if fans of the western genre. Actually a lot of younger film lovers may not have seen many or any of these kind of movies,I'd say give it a go it could be a good starting point.

It has the look of a classic spaghetti Western too and the soundtrack certainly helps the fell. A tight script, quiet dialogue driven. 🤠 👢 🐎

Well, for a Western movie then this 2021 movie titled "Gunfight at Dry River" was a somewhat bland experience. Sure, I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I wasn't sure what I could, would or should expect from writer Fe Valen and director Daniel Simpson.

And Western movies is not my go-to-movies per se, but every now and again I sit down to watch one when and if I get the chance. But mostly, if I do so, then it is the movies that revolves around the Americal Civil War, which "Gunfight at Dry River" didn't do.

Visually then "Gunfight at Dry River" was okay, it definitely felt and looked like a Western movie, given the location of the filming, the costumes, the props and the setting in general. So that certainly worked in favor of the movie.

Now, it terms of storyline, then I found "Gunfight at Dry River" to be a bit too generic and having a storyline that was rather mundane and simplistic to the point where you didn't really need to pay much attention to the screen in order to keep up with events in the movie.

The acting performances in the movie were good. Nothing extraordinary or memorable here, though, but the actors and actresses did manage to portray their characters well enough. However, the character gallery felt a little bit too much like writer Fe Valen was delving deep into the stereotypical Western character clichés.

Ultimately then "Gunfight at Dry River" was watchable, although not a particularly outstanding Western.

My rating of "Gunfight at Dry River" lands on a five out of ten stars. There are far better Western movies out there, if Westerns is your cup of tea.

WE certainly gave it a chance. More we watched; worse it got. Much worse.

Appears someone went to Spain somewhere, to make a western, found a bunch of rocks, a bell and a well, found some wannabe actors who probably acted in high school, and had them read mindless words. Then they patched all scenes together. An OMG Vote is much too generous. I actually felt VERY bad for the "actors".

So, when I said to my husband - you're STILL watching. He said, " I've gone this far, so have to see how this can end." Problem was - with ME - toward the film end, I thought they were all getting BETTER, or was I now brain dead!

As a lifelong fan of western movies, this trash is the worst I've ever seen. Horrible script, acting and soundtrack! There is absolutely nothing believable about the premise of the movie. A complete waste of film!!!

Not much of a movie. Way too slow to develop, plot line that really made no sense. Some decent landscape and cinematography, but even that became stale as the movie proceeded. I usually can provide a higher rating for Western movies when there are impressive landscapes, but there are just too many flaws with this picture. As a Western fan, I had a hard time being able to watch this to the end. I was really hoping for logical reactions from the characters, but every step of the way, it just didn't make sense. The lead character was likable, but didn't live up to what I would want to see in a protagonist. Save your time and skip this one.
