Murder at Yellowstone City

Wanted to give it 7 stars, would give it 6 1/2 if possible..

Positives- actors, a couple creative scenes I hadn't seen before in a Western, cinematography not bad at all, acting decent, plot line acceptable and actually analogous to the world at large, which I'm not sure was intentional, but works from my perspective..

Negatives- everything looks new, like they just made it or polished it up.. Kinda weak on I presume the set masters part.. I don't think it's giving anything away to toss in the typical scenario of people getting shot several times, then still functioning.. Of course bullets rarely run out and Hollywood does what it does and way overdoes the booms and bangs.. They had an ok idea for the script, but I suspect in order to get the picture made the studio or some idiot producer decided they needed more bang for the buck.. It's too bad as if they had let it alone (and gave it a better title) this could have been very good.. As is, I found it entertaining enough.. No worse than dozens of old B rated Westerns from years gone by.. If they'd have fixed the 3 main problems I mentioned (and the stupid title) it could have been a contender.. I give it bonus points for the deeper world view and I hope people get some value from that as not many movies can offer that these days.. Certainly better than a lot of the garbage I've seen over recent years..! 🤔

A rather unusual western, with an unusual topic, but there was something missing, something really surprising, even tragic, and in terms of mystery western, I highly prefered FIVE CARDS STUD, and I also expected something better with the likes of Gabriel Byrne and Tim Roth. During the viewing, I was waiting for some good lines, because some scenes are not that foreseeable, nealy shocking, but the overall result is for me run of the mill, poorly average. No really, I was deceived by such a poor ending, destined, I guess, to silly audiences, whom I refuse to belong to. Westerns from the 2020'S should bring something new, refreshing, surprising elements. I don't think that should be so difficult. But that's not a junk, garbage stuff either. Let's be fair. I found very unusual and riveting the relationship between the young serial killer - very rare in a western - and the young lady, who fights for him. Very rare. Good point.

Lots of well-known faces in what is quite possibly the one of the worst westerns I've seen. I only queued this up because of some of the actors.

I was bored.. so terribly bored after the opening 5 minutes... it's dialog... all dialog... not good dialog.. just dialog... for an hour an a half.. then something happens in the last 10 minutes as well.

Frankly the filmmakers would have to pay be a hefty fee to sit through this thing a second time.

Don't bother.

Starts as an average western story with decent cinematography and a very interesting cast.

The first half of the movie is passable, waiting to see how it builds up, nothing special happens. The third quarter falls in a sequence of disappointing clichés, completely making me lose the faith in the movie, but the last quarter was absolute nonsense! I couldn't believe such bad writing, I couldn't stop rolling my eyes and wondering in amazement what the hell was going on and why everyone was doing what they were doing. Abysmal.

I won't bother mentioning any other aspect of the movie, I'm giving some points on the technical aspect and the casting, all the rest is pathetic.

Actors were not bad but awful story and script or poor direction or I'm walking too ahead of time. People need to experience life and study filmmaking before trying their hand on it.
