Murder at Yellowstone City

This movie could have been a real murder mystery movie..instead a bunch of people just died for nothing...don't waste your time with this.... I can't believe I wasted 2 hours on this.

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.

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.

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.

The script was all of the place at some parts, but at other parts it felt well written, and well done, you also couldnt expect most of the outcomes, and thats great, and i liked it... Until its writing turned stupid, and logic details started to bothered me in the plot.

Ending could had been done way more wisely instead of turning it into an "dont care action western", what it didnt feel like at all from the start, and i hated that aspect.

On some scenes the side actors were a bit robotic.

Recently i have been watching alot of older movies, now when i return to the modern ones i notice one thing i dislike alot is that some extra actors dont feel like they matter, at all, theyre just robots in a way. Following what their task is in the scene. Rarely got that feeling while watching an older movie.

So overall, great acting from most, but some stuff failed, so cant rate this high, just average 5/10.
