GazerRise Fantastic!
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
bkoganbing An interesting and incongruous mixture of martial arts and old fashioned gunslinging happen in this western of Ghost Rock. The film is so named after a town where Gary Busey is the town boss. He's having some threats to his leadership coming and he's brought in a group of outlaws as enforcers headed by David Jean Thomas who look like they enjoy their work. Our nominal hero is Michael Worth who can use a little training in both the martial arts and firearms. He's aided and abetted by Sharon Stone ripoff Jenya Lano.The film is poor in about every department you can name. I guess you either needed the late David Carradine for this kind of hybrid film or Chuck Norris in his salad days.
mergatroid-1 I have liked Gary Busy in every movie I've seen him in except this one. His acting, like that of the rest of the case, sucked. It's like they signed him up during a bender and didn't quite get him sobered up before filming started.The rest of the cast sucked, the story sucks, production values are near the bottom of the heap.In short there's nothing I can find about this film that's good, and the only reason I don't give it a 1 out of 10 is because, believe it or not, I HAVE seen worse movies.So, if you see this movie in the bargain bin a your local big box store at $1.00, ask yourself this question: "Do I need another DVD case to fix a movie with a broken case"? If you answer Yes, then buy this movie and use the case to replace your broken one. $1 for a DVD case isn't TOO bad. You might be able to use the DVD to play with your dog.
Frank Markland Michael Worth stars as a gun-runner who goes up against the local mobster (Gary Busey) who wiped out Worth's friends and family years ago, however a mysterious blonde has returned and is killing of Busey's gang one by one, also on hand is Jeff Fahey who is fairly useless to the High Plains Drifter rip off storyline. When I think westerns I don't think of dynamic martial artistry combining with six-shooters. There is a problem of tone and due to this the movie never gels and we are left to flounder in the silliness of watching a hybrid of two genres that never mix that well. The best of these hybrids was Lone Wolf McQuade but the movie this reminds me was the Olvier Gruner starred dud The Fighter. Which also combined kickboxing with western antics, the western ripped off there was Shane, where as this one rips off High Plains Drifter, even down to the "twist" at the end. This is of course a very silly effort but Dustin Rikert is not much of an action director and for this the movie is fairly dull.*1/2 out of 4-(Poor)
Margaret Griffin I don't know exactly why I like this movie.Maybe I have a soft spot for shoestring Indies.The dialog is hokey,but the idea is a good one.There's plenty of action and enough gunfighting to take you back to the old westerns where each gun held a box full of lead.I really enjoyed the martial arts.....yes you saw right,martial arts.The stunt work is well choreographed and the boys earn their pay. The eye candy is there...for both sexes.The movie trys,it really does.It's a brave effort, and I'm a sucker for ghost stories.It's not War and Peace,but a good way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy night.Grab some chips and dips and Enjoy!
