Legend of the Phantom Rider

Bought this movie on DVD at a popular rental place that was going out of business. I figured, at five bucks, it was worth a watch.

I thought it a pretty fair western with a heavy Spaghetti influence. Good camera work, good sets and decent storyline. Acting was fair from most of the supporting cast. But the "Phantom" and "Blade" characters were both ridiculously overplayed, and neither looked as if they belonged on the same set with the rest of the cast. Maybe this was intentional, as they were both supposed to be supernatural entities. But if that's the case, it didn't really work.

Overall, I can see the vision the filmmakers were going for, but they fell short in many aspects. This story needs to be retold by someone who can do it justice.
