Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

fredcdobbs5 What can I say that most other reviewers haven't already said? This "movie" is a total failure on virtually every conceivable level. About the only good things about it are the cinematography--which is actually pretty good--and the music, which is at least bearable. Everything else about it--and I mean EVERYTHING--is laughable. The reciting--in no way, shape or form could it be called "acting"--is universally abysmal (the worst by far is by the "leading lady"), the writing is a jumbled, convoluted mess, the direction is virtually nonexistent, the fart jokes aren't funny (yes, there's a character who actually farts loudly several times before he's thankfully killed off), even the sound effects are 12th-rate. A complete and utter waste of time. There's probably a movie somewhere on this planet that's worse than this thing is, but with any luck I'll never see it. Avoid this mess at all costs.

charliewaites I've been in love with westerns all of my life and for me there is simply nothing better than watching a good one but absolutely nothing worst than sitting through a bad one and I'm sorry but this is about as bad as they come.I really did try but I could only last about 15 minutes because every time an 'actor' opened their mouth I cringed. The acting is so atrocious that at first I thought it was a spoof, then on clicking on each of the cast names I noticed that this was the only movie most of them have been in so maybe they were just friends helping out. As for all the positive reviews, if you genuinely liked the film, fine, but comparing it to The Wild Bunch, True Grit or Shane is really just an insult to some of the America's greatest film makers.

jekitchell I am a great fan of westerns, and so few good ones are made any more, so I was really impressed with this film. It has all the traditional western motifs, with a little bit of The Searchers and a dash of classic Tragedy (for fans of theater). Well done movie, full of emotion and action. The reviewer above sounds suspiciously like either an internet troll or a frustrated wannabe. It was a good film, great script with characters of depth and complexity, good production values, solid acting and authentic settings, costumes and even dialogue. If only more of this high standard Western could be brought to film. Kudos to Miller and his production.

mcwwcm My girl friend and I saw Livin by the Gun at the Twain Harte Festival. We really enjoyed it. It reminded me of the new True Grit, with a few differences. Both movies were period correct. The characters, from extras to main actors were realistic. The characters in Livin by the Gun reminded me of the characters in the HBO series Deadwood. They weren't glamorous. They were rough and real. The locations in both movies looked authentic and added to the story. The camera work was better in Livin by the Gun, in setting the mood of the story. The sound track of Livin by the Gun was outstanding and helped to add to the major difference between the two movies, which is, Livin by the Gun has way more emotion. It even made my girl friend cry.
