Potter's Ground

Shockingly well done if you know what the budget was (like practically nothing). It's fun and entertaining to watch but if you're looking for something with profound meaning then this isn't it. Some of the visuals are totally top shelf. Looking forward to the next project from this posse.

Once upon a time there were very good cowboy movies. Exciting legendary movies where Indians and Cowboys fight. Today's cowboy movies are like Chinese made... These kinds of movies have no taste anymore. It's really a pity.

Well now, this is not what I expected. This certainly is a mixed bag of genres, and dare I say I believe it mixed pretty well.

This is probably the type of movie I've been waiting for: an action adventure fantasy western horror drama thriller. That might be a mouth full, but this film really surprised me. The film features really good performances, good dialogue, good cinematography, and an eerie and foreboding atmosphere. We have cowboys, Indians, good guys, bad guys, skin walkers, monsters... I guess this won't satisfy everyone's palate, but I was thoroughly entertained.

We follow three officials in search of pieces of an amulet that - according to legend - contains a map to a city of gold. These pieces are scattered, and the only person who knows where they are, is Doloroas, whose ancestors created the amulet, so she's along for the ride as well. On their journey, they stumble across more unsavory characters than they can handle, and their every move is a fight for survival.

I love treasure hunting movies. Now add the Western adventure element and I'm in heaven! I really loved this. If you're looking for an old-fashioned Western movie, though, this is not it. This is a very different kind of Western, so you're either going to love it or hate it.

Would I watch it again? Yes.

Umm what did I just watch? It's not sure what it is, but I sure know it's not good. The lack of budget is evident, and the story is just shallow and somewhat bizarre.

Boring episode of Deadwood meets The Goonies. No likable characters. Same story has been done before and way better.
