Saw this movie and thought it was fantastic. Just not your ordinary western but a realistic look at some of the trappings of living in the "old west". If you are into movies...particularly westerns you will love this movie. The scene with the Indian store keeper shooting arrows at our hero is all too real. The scenery and the locale is part of this wonderful movie. The heroine was low key and for her first movie she did a good job. I had to look up everyone involved with the making of this movies so to see the hands behind a work of art. I highly recommend it. Make sure you see it with some one who enjoys these new realistic look at the west. Not some Hollywood set but out in the open wilderness.

Isabella (Inge Rademeyer) comes from England to the US to stay at her uncle's ranch. She is kidnapped by The Man (Cohen Holloway) who is interested in her for a poke, but his ED prevails and he searches for a cure dragging her along. Because he doesn't know what is happening to him he tells a doctor that his "d**k is broke" and wants help. I saw the DVD cover and saw The Man who looked a lot like Lee Van Cleef, with those piercing eyes, from the Spaghetti Westerns with Clint Eastwood back in the day, and, I figured I was in for a good time. Well, this is a different kind of western, but I stayed with it. There was almost no dialogue for the longest time. It took me a while to figure out what was going on and when his clumsy attempt at a "poke" didn't happen, it all made sense and he seeks help from a doctor in the next town. Long story short: The Man keeps getting advice that leads him to the Chinese and the Indians who may be able to help. All the while Isabella is tied up and taken along so she cannot get away. The posse is hot on their trail with instructions to shoot the woman they labeled the "whore" on sight as they believe she helped The Man when he shot the Sheriff and bonuses will be paid.When the posse catches up with The Man and his "whore" everything changes and there will be surprises for you to ponder. The ending is perfect. I believe that if this movie had better music more people would know about it and an instant classic would be launched because all is good, the acting, dialogues and the tension that pervades everything. The chemistry between Isabella and The Man is truly something to watch as the relationship evolves. The cinematography is simply outstanding. Of course, as you go along with this, you will know why the title is what it is, but for you this is good for something, a different kind of western that you will enjoy. (7/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Attempted rape: Yes. Nudity: No. Slang term for genitals: Yes, only mentioned once in the beginning. Language: No.

An ironic look into the emotional confusion of an outlaw who reluctantly develops strong feelings for a woman he has kidnapped, while finding he is unable to "perform" when trying to have his way with her. This results in his seeking help with his problem from a doctor then medicine men, both Chinese and Native American. All the while, the pair are being pursued by a posse out to kill both of them. This deadpan comedy drama has high production values, wonderful photography and a memorable original soundtrack combined with a minimalist script and action that is sometimes over the top to the extent that twice I found myself laughing uncontrollably with this atypical western. This is definitely not a John Wayne film, which is why it has, so far, received low ratings, but give it's subtle humor a chance and you may conclude that it is one of the more memorable of your recent film experiences. Highly Recommended.

I've never been big on Western movies but Good for Nothing was surprisingly entertaining. In most Westerns I've seen there are often long drawn out pan out shots of bare land and dull dialogue, however Good for Nothing has witty and sometimes sarcastic dialogue between the characters and a simple plot that juxtaposes the type of lifestyle that was shared during western times. Perhaps the must unique factor that I found out about this movie after I watched it was the fact that its the first Pavlova Western the world has ever seen, meaning it was inspired by spaghetti western movies yet it was filmed in New Zealand. I'm planning on grabbing a copy of it when it comes out in DVD it was that good.
