A Soldier's Revenge

A garbage revenge, is the perfect title for this movie 👍

Its a clear b-movie, loas of cowboys a renegades, with neiter cow or guts. meaness it has but at a shallow depth, the story aint good, the acting likewise, and the big miss in contrary to qverwhelmingly made westerns is the choice of score. my childhood memories wher either a decent symphonical or a crude steelguitar based score. here its just a cheap meeeow of a synthizeiser, that trashes the golden transition from scene to scene.

its a blur of close up shooting camera angles, and use of focus is almost absent.the cast would have impressed me if they had it in their eyes but they dont. thats why clint'ern caught his audience, you wont be caught by this.

playtime here are 137 minutes, coulve been easily compressed into 85 mins without a problem, so here its quantity over quality believe me. inexperience deluxe from the director and editors, make this sub western saga a blimp and no more than that.

its made for the cowboy nerds, and the cast and crews families, a weak 3 for stamina from the grumpy old man saying that watching a bit of bonaza wouldnt hurt. its pretty decent compared to this. recomende?no.

I thought the story was decent, the acting adequate, and the scenery stunning.

Compared to some of the other tripe I've seen, this should get a much better rating and comparison. A little of the acting was weak , but just from one or two of the incidental cast.

I'm not sure how (not being a screenwriter), but I think the writing could have been tweaked to made us care more about the supporting cast. It definitely made me hate the antagonist, and made me feel sympathy for the protagonist, but I think stronger writing of the other characters would have bolstered this movie quite a lot.

Some scenes were just far too dragged out, and in the first 15 minutes I'd already fast forwarded through most of it. That always worries me.

However, the story was good enough that I wanted to know how it ends. Good to see Val Kilmer sticking with the craft.

Turned it off at the 45 min mark as enough of my time had been wasted.

The first 5 minutes of the movie told me all I needed to know. It's crap, pure and simple. I've seen 6 year olds act better. I saved 2 hours and 15 minutes I can use on watching something better.
