Review of Six Reasons Why (2008) by John R — 09 Oct 2008
Expected one of those made with a video camera crap western movies but got a rough gem, cult classic pleasure instead. Really weird film. The box portrays it as a true western but it's actually a Post Apocalyptic type thingy.
Had me laughing a few times at the subtle, and not so subtile stupidity/humour. Some excellent cinematography, use of camera angles etc. Obviously these guys didn't have a lot of money but they did a pretty good job regardless.
Turns out to be a big riddle at the end but all's explained eventually. Don't watch for good acting but watch for the story. If a big movie company had done this film it would've gotten high marks.
They could've contributed to better actors, better special effects, and better costumes (though the weapons are well done and covered) and made this a cult classic. The story carries the lack of quality.
One exception to the above. You've got to be a Western genre fan or you'll probably go away disappointed thinking this was a "made with a video camera crap western" movie.
