Sugar Colt

Near the end of the American Civil War, an entire unit of one hundred Union sharpshooters vanish into thin air in a rugged, mountainous region. To shed light on their mysterious disappearance, Sugar Colt, a former special agent, superb marksman, and director of a shooting academy, rides into the dusty town of Snake Valley, posing as Doctor Tom Cooper. But, newcomers, especially the brazen ones, are rarely treated with respect in the God-forsaken hamlet. Now, Tom will have to put his skills to good use, as guns have the final say. Will Sugar Colt get to the bottom of what happened to the missing U. S. Cavalry officers?

Sugar Colt is a fairly offbeat western-spy mix featuring a crack shot gunman going undercover as a weakling doctor in order to find the missing soldiers. He gets pushed around for the first half, which is comedic, but that tone changes to the usual gunplay when Sugar Colt reveals himself fifty minutes in. That didn't really make sense. Why disguise yourself if you are going to reveal yourself, especially with the fact he hadn't learnt anything. Still, it's a fun film and the depiction of the town and its townsfolk is quite well done, has this claustrophobic atmosphere. The action is very good, the sense energy is there. Just that the execution of certain parts like the investigation elements could've been done better.
