Customer Reviews

Beware of that fatal paper cut

From the beginning, this movie hits you with potty mouth and potty humor. This may be o.k. or even desirable in British comedies. Here, it was just downright crude. Even people who enjoy the versatility of English would cringe at the dialogue and low-level comedy. The high-level comedy here was slapstick. If you get past the crudeness and ridiculous scenes, there is a standard formula that you will recognize at once. A sheepherder with a sense of humanity backs down from a Neanderthal confrontation with the gunslinger. His girlfriend finds this attitude not to her liking and departs from his company. Will he get over his loss? Or take it in his stride. Or will he change his ways and lose humanity as he strives to outsling the gunslingers? Meanwhile, back at the ranch, a new girl shows up with a mysterious past. She seems to cotton to him and helps him make his decisions. You will have to watch the movie to find out what choices he makes and what the results are of those choices. As I stated originally, one would have to have no discerning taste to be able to make it to the end of this film and find out what happens. However, on the upside, there are a lot of great actors, and you believe the parts that they play.
