Review of Dead in Tombstone (2013) by Harry W — 23 Jul 2014

One line summary: Deals with Lucifer sometimes take longer than expected.

------------------.

Red Cavanaugh is about to be hung, but the rest of the Blackwater Gang rescue him. Red sells them a plan to liberate some gold. His half-brother and co-leader of the gang, Guerraro, agrees as long as they make it a quick and relatively clean operation.

Once the plan is in motion, though, Red bloodies the town and kills his brother, as well as the sheriff. Red takes over the town with the remaining Blackwater Gang as his fellow enforcers. He joins forces with an English business man to keep a choke hold on the town and the mining of the gold.

Meanwhile, Guerrero has a long chat with Lucifer, and strikes a deal with him. If Guerrero can snuff his old gang, Lucifer will restore him to life above ground.

The bloodletting increases. One might expect that, given the cast and the setup of the screenplay.

Does Guerrero re-gain his life, or does Red foul up his plans again?

------Scores-----.

Cinematography: 7/10 Nicely atmospheric, but had some terrible hand-held moments.

Sound: 6/10 I could hear the dialog, which was fine, but the sound did not add much to the mood of the piece.

Acting: 8/10 I liked the four principal actors in this property.

Screenplay: 4/10 This video would have been better at 75 minutes rather than 99. The script was a bit short on ideas, and long on torture, murder, forced labor, revenge, and betrayals.
