Cassidy Red

A romantic western told in retrospective about young love to be lost. The story isn't much though it's nicely told. If the writing were as good as the pictures and visual telling, the directing, acting, casting, costumes and perhaps above all, the music, this could have been a real pearl. Not a bad try - not at all, and probably perfect for someone in, or who lost their love.

This move moves lethargically, like a turtle on Thorazine. It is best described as a thinking man's western, just, in this case, it's a thinking woman...or rather, a girl. A girl who doesn't watch westerns, and prefers Glee. It does have some nice cinematography though, and we see Arizona landscape in all its splendor. Even the sets are quite ok for a low budget western. And now the bad... the story is of revenge, revenge at the stray viewer who stumbles upon it on the Prime...The creators were aware of the western form and canons, but were not able to substantiate it, or infuse any genuine soul in this project. Oh, and did I mention that, it is lacking energy until the very end, when it is released in a somewhat farcical way. Acting is largely amateurish, making it annoying at times. The sound follows closely. I would give it 3 stars were it not for the fake upvoting, so, for the sake of fairness, 2/10.

It's a little off for your typical western, but I really enjoyed this movie, and the story especially. Worth the watch if you're into westerns

I oftentimes check imdb ratings before watching the movie, for in most of the cases ratings give a pretty good estimation of the quality of the movie. For some reason, I started to watch this movie even if the rating is fairly low, and I was surprised of the quality of the movie. Story, cast, directing and overall quality of the movie was actually fairly good. It did not feel like a waste of time at all.

Having said that, there is something simplistic or hard-boild in the movie, including some of the characters, and that is likely to make some people critical about their reviews. At the same time I can't help seeing something artistic in this movie. I kind of enoyed its simplicity and slow pace.

So, my point is that the oveall quality of this movie may be better than the ratings it has got. I would have expected this to be rated somewhere in the region of 5.5 or even higher. In all, this movie is worth watching. In spite of its obvious clichés, it brings some novel nuances to the Western genre.

We often wonder, and talk that there could heaps of great artists hidden, not getting the chance and encouragement.

Well, whoever did the camera work for this movie, the edits, and sound design, well those guys are absolute top-notch. I was astounded to see aesthetic sense and the chiselled and well thought of camera work. The sound design was so well done.

The actors were not bad at all. Surely, you don't expect such intricacy from a low budget movie.

We have watched many a movies which are done pretty pure. This movie deserves a watch and the artists, some appreciation.

Watch it to appreciate artistry.
