Counting Bullets

I started watching this and became intrigued. Good scenes in the fort, and as a veteran I knew guys who were often in trouble - drunk too, usually - but had combat service records to be proud of and depended upon.

Michael Estridge was a good green officer and did a fine job of acting as such.

And then the surprise/shock of who "the Indians" were ... rather like Jaws not being horribly discovered until well into the film.

The weapons looked to be of accurate vintage, although in one of the final scenes Lt. Lowe was shot at point-blank and somehow missed. (This *can* happen, but it didn't help screen credibility.) And as others have observed, the location was as unsparingly glaring as it was beautiful.

And no, I'm not related to the production company. :-) A decent flick.

Wow, this movie was horrible, at first I thought it was a farce, like a mock comedy western, but it was quickly apparent that not much time was taken into the making of this film.

The actors are horrible, the physical acting is unbearable to watch and cringeworthy. The actors characters/lines are barely put together and lack depth.

Where's the action?

This film is well done. The scenes are impressive. The characters understandable, and the whole show is believable.

Four fake reviews contributed by the movie makers relatives, colleagues or friends, tried to cheat people to pick out this terrible western genre garbage from the DVD garbage bin in a supermarket renting machine. Watchable, at least? If you were in jail and there's only one movie that was shown in the public roaming area, and you've got nowhere to go, then watch it.

What amazed me as a myth is why so many moronic investors would waste their money to so many horrible movies? Many production budgets were over several millions and even more, but their global box office records only shown couple of thousand dollars, sometimes, even in the 5 figure range. Why not used that money to invest in other ventures instead of making movies?

The landscape was rugged, beautiful, and made a perfect background for the men who struggled for their lives.
