Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love a good western. That being said, I didn't love "Hell To Pay". It was o.k. and that's it. The box said it was nominated as "...best western of 2006", so I guess it was the only western out in 2006, and it didn't win the catagory. It had a lot of "legendary" western stars in it, returning for "...a final shootout". That was, kind of, cool but, it wasn't a whole lot different than say, "Maverick". A movie that I enjoyed a lot more, by the way. The dialog in "Hell To Pay" was written poorly, and the acting wasn't much better. I have a compulsion, at times, to count the shots taken in movie shootouts. I resisted this time but, I know more than 6 shots were taken by shooters in their scenes; a sure sign of inattentive editing or, not caring and going for the action shot. The actors, also (another pet-peeve) acted like they were shooting bb guns. No recoil even hinted at. I would think that, a movie that has SASS (Single Action Shooting Society, kind of a Creative Anachronism Society for the old west) associated with it might be more, for lack of a better term, realistic, maybe accurate works. I think it was just an excuse for SASS'ers to go out and play western, and get it on film. The main reason I purchased the movie was the purported nomination for the Golden Boot Award. I guess I should have investigated the organization that gives out this "award". 3 stars is being generous, It was, after all, a "try".
