The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreStory: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Why not make it available? Why would you waste the efforts of the crew? Is it because you care more about profits and less about art? Come on imdb/amazon, at least let me ask a faq... tease.
View MoreThe message boards are gone. The community is lost. I just wanted to comment about the damn dog, but now the only way to do that is by leaving a review. That was the one gripe I had. A dog wouldn't do that with the dynamite. I know that was your idea, Dekker! Did anyone else feel the same? Please respond by writing a review since the message boards are gone.
View MoreI love westerns, even as shmaltzy as John Ford got, I still loved 'em. And I can even find things to like in the post-mod fun houses that Tarentino puts out. But this show is barely watchable unless you watch it PIP with "Blazing Saddles" at the same time. The violence is at times innovative but often gratuitous and just vulgar, the female characters are undeveloped, and could we please just put away the strong silent protag with a mysterious past. Toshiro Mifune did it best which is why Leone stole it, but put it in a jar labelled "Eastwood" and forget it. As with many modern westerns I wonder how they get made. The meeting scene near the end where landowners are getting orally served during the meeting, I think I get a clue what happened to fund this film. Worst of all, I can't believe Shane Black and not his pre-teen grandson wrote this script. Bad bad puns, unnecessary dialogue, tedious villains. Cmon, Shane. Was this a community service project to make up for parking tickets?
View MoreI've seen a lot of Westerns; grew up on them, and watched the genre evolve over the years from John Ford to Sam Peckinpah and Clint Eastwood and to the postmodern revisionist dreck that now clutters the Hollywood production schedules. The Wild Bunch remains one of my favorite movies. In brief: Edge sucks. Monumental suckdom. Simple as that. Some interesting actors, sure: Max Martini, Bill Sadler, and Yvonne Strahovski though Ryan Kwanten and Beau Knapp are juvenile and subpar, worse than the worse spaghetti Western bit players. But on the whole this movie is violent, vile,senseless, and absurd with awful dialog and a hackneyed plot twist at the end (which I won't reveal and which I advise you not to wait to see). Skip it.
