Review of Good for Nothing (2012) by Lee M — 28 May 2014

I watched this soon after seeing "Gunless" the other quirky Western, that one with a very Canadian sense of humor. "Good for Nothing" is darker both in the number of characters who get shot and in the humor. The videography of the vast scenery is lush and spectacular, and there are a lot of scenery shots which is a very good thing. I assumed the director was in love with Montana where the story is supposed to take place, but it was shot entirely in New Zealand. Fooled me.

If one is looking for character development....there is some. Whether that is enough for your tastes will vary! The acting of the main pair keeps one interested in the story. Whether the ending satisfies again will vary with the viewer. I say, just sit back and really enjoy all the gorgeous shots of the scenery and the buffoonery of the posse.
