A sci fi western, May 27, 2008
This review is from: Six Reasons Why (DVD)
At first from the weapons you think this is a typical 1880's Arizona/ New Mexico western. Slowly it dawns on you when the guy uses a battery from two passers-bye to power an IPod and the TV in a bar tells about the death of the monorail owner, that this isn't just another Italian western, but a movie set in the far future where civilization is a small community surrounded by the bad lands. The fellow who we take as a crazy wondering murderer is actually the lawman whose duty is to terminate those outlaws in the bad lands who are social outcasts. Strange justice and a twist gives a very unexpected end.

Six Reasons Why is a waste of time and money., September 18, 2008
This review is from: Six Reasons Why (DVD)
Six Reasons Why is a waste of time. I could not get into the story, and the actors are amateurs (except for Colm Feore). The movie is being touted as an example of indie filmmaking in the tradition of the Coen brothers. The Coen brothers put out quality product from the start. Save your time and money for something worthwhile.

The Gunslinger meets Spaghetti Westerns, July 31, 2008
This review is from: Six Reasons Why (DVD)
Six Reasons Why is a Western/Fantasy amalgamation, which you could easily call a cross between Stephen King's The Gunslinger, and the spaghetti western, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. On many levels, this movie thrives and succeeds. The cinematography is brilliant for such a low budget flick, and the story telling is paced well. There are no lulls or dead spots, and no unnecessary scenes or dialogue. It is this bare bones story telling style that holds your attention, and ultimately carries Six Reasons Why into the realm of a memorable film. The one thing holding this film back from reaching its potential is acting. While the acting is often very serviceable, it often wavers on the over-dramatic side, and occasionally, albeit infrequently, crumbles into mediocrity. If you like King's Gunslinger, or are a fan of spaghetti westerns, Six Reasons Why is worth viewing.
