Wizard-8 It's kind of hard to believe that "Sweetwater" was an official entry in the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, given that it's not only packed with bloody violence and sexual elements, its storyline is more or less just that of another revenge western. But if you've read plenty of my other user comments, you'll know that I welcome a movie with plenty of violent and/or sexual touches. And while I have seen plenty of revenge western plots in movies, I am still open to seeing another one as long as it's done well. I will admit that in this particular telling, it does move a LOT slower than what you usually get. And there are no real surprises along the way to really shake things up and get the viewers guessing what will happen - you'll be able to predict what happens long before it does unfold. But the performances are good (Jason Isaacs makes for a great hateful villain), the movie is well produced for what had to be a real low budget, and I admit that I was not bored at any moment, even during the really slow portions. This is not a movie that will make you think, and it doesn't have any real artistic intentions, but if you are in the mood for a revenge western, it does satisfy.

M MALIK we all remember western genre films of last century specially the dollars trilogy of Clint Eastwood that still inspires many even now filmmakers like Quintin Tarantino tried to ape them but failed but this new low budget film does have some potential plus points are serious throughout the end but takes to long for climax is the only negative thing here some pointless dialogs,nudity & villain disappoints but its still worth a watch because of January Jones i have seen few of her films this lady is doing some action roles recently so do not mess with her otherwise you go down type of tag-line should have been added to the title.the plot:Sarah lives a life with her husband in Mexico during late 1800s when Daniel a ruthless religious leader kills the husband Sarah now wants revenge how she gets it the answer is in this film.the cast:Jason Issac looked cool though with black dress & long hair but January Jones shows some good acting here don't know why people hate her i like her for what she is.the addition of more action could have been better why it is toned down one may ask but there is blood & gore with some goofy moments are present. overall do not expect much from sweet water 2013 as its a film you can watch if you want to pass sometime & want cheesy entertainment nothing more my rating is 5/10.

hotrodr9000 Just picture that, burning hundred dollar bills. That sick feeling of something valuable completely wasted. That's the feeling you'll have watching some great actors slog through this truly embarrassing mess of a film. The hack script is a museum of heinous clichés and stereotypes. The actors do their best to salvage the horrendous script with over-the-top, scenery chewing performances, but the result is just ludicrous. Trying to see positives, Ed Harris gives a good effort (he was one of the producers) and our hero husband and wife have some hints of chemistry. But our painfully cartoonish antagonist, Josiah, just ruins the whole film. Again, not for lack of effort from Jason Isaacs, but from the godawful script.To be fair, there are some terrible films that still have some charm or appeal that makes them enjoyable. This not one of them.

Theo Robertson In 19th Century New Mexico Miguel Ramirez gets in to a feud with religious zealot Josiah . When Miguel fails to return to his home his wife Sarah suspects that Josiah may be behind her husbands disappearance This went straight to DVD in Europe which is somewhat surprising because it does contain relatively well known names in Harris , Isaacs and Jones . That said reading the comments on this page you are struck as to the number of comments that describe the film as being " funny " but I should qualify this by saying it is funny in the same way as Al Swearengen is funny in DEADWOOD because this is black comedy at its most brutal and uncompromising along with role reversal revenge fantasy and you can see why it might have been a difficult film to market It's not a very well paced film and some scenes seem to go on for too long and the fact that there's not a lot of incidental music to these scenes means they seem longer than they really are . That said it's probably the effect the director wants because SWEET VENGEANCE concerns it self with mood rather than narrative and is a very moody revenge thriller . One does notice that the cinematography is rather murky and fails to make the most of the New Mexico landscape , especially when you get the instinctive feeling that there's a subtext of man - or more specifically woman - versus nature going on there somewhere but this aspect comes over slightly confused and isn't as well developed as it could have been . Regardless of that if you enjoyed DEADWOOD then you might just enjoy this blackly comical violent Western
