carbuff Not an easy film to review in some respects. The entire story is built around a kidnapping and attempted rape by the "hero" early in the film and just runs with the concept as he tries to finish what he started. (There are a few nuances to it, but that's essentially a correct summation.) I'm throwing out a wild guess that some women might not find that particular plot line to be exactly female-friendly. (On the other hand, very arguably, "50 Shades of Grey" isn't exactly female-friendly either, and, yet, well, you know,...) The bodies fall left and right, although not predictably, which probably reflects how gunfights actually happened. What's more, unbelievably, six-shooters really only shoot six times. There are no true good guys in the film, just degrees of bad, and personal hygiene is most conspicuous by its absence, which is also no doubt pretty period correct. At heart, the plot is like a twisted "Taming of the Shrew", except that the shew isn't much of a shrew, and the guy doing the taming is severely lacking in Shakespearean wit and charm. As a matter of fact, communication doesn't come naturally or well to the main character at all, and we won't even waste our time discussing any apparent thinking or introspection. Still, I'm rating it highly because the story is so out-of-left field interesting, there are a lot of darkly comic moments in it, it's brilliantly filmed, and, just generally, I'm a sucker for odd or different movies. Guys, a word of warning though, this is not how attempted sexual assaults typically play out. Please, don't bother writing me from prison.

fouu2-668-459294 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.

daniel elliott Saw this the other night and thought that it was a great adventurous romp that caught my attention throughout. An amazing score and the beauty of the New Zealand landscape help to give it an epic feel. The theme song has been in my head for days.The man, played by New Zealand Actor Cohen Holloway, gave a great almost silent performance and is also darkly comic. It's pretty much a classic western but it has one major plot point at the heart that questions what it is to be a man, that makes this movie unique.If you like a good well contained and fun story, then go see this. That's my 2 cents!

Batmanispierce Good For Nothing has the potential to become one of the greatest cult westerns of the 21st century! Cohen Holloway comes forward out of the woodwork to bring a stunning performance as the rough outlaw 'The Man.' Cohen leads the movie with his silent, almost grim, posture which is matched only by Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name. Inge Rademeyer, who plays a proper English woman, creates a character that is wonderfully unique while maintaining her realism. The story line is a wonderful story about 'the Man,' who suffers from erectile dysfunction, and must cross across the American Old West to try to find a cure. The scenery of the movie is fantastic, using the wonderful landscape which is New Zealand. What might be the greatest feature of this movie is the wonderful score, written by John Psathas and performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. With all these factors combine you get a great western movie.
