Synopsis:
A B-movie version of old-school Clint Eastwood westerns with a sprinkle of Ghostrider.
Review:
Guererro (Danny Trejo - Machete) and Red (Anthony Michael Hall) are co-leaders of the Blackwater Gang in the Old West. About the only thing G has above any of them is that he's strictly in crime for the cash, not the kills. His gang turns on him and blasts him to shit when he, for some reason, declines to take over a town with a newly found gold mine. In hell, he meets the devil (Mickey Rourke -- looking more and more like a dead ringer for an older Marlon Brando) and offers to kill the six traitors who wasted him rather than spent eternity in brimstone. Old Horny accepts and gives him twenty-four hours with the further condition that he alone must kill each and every one of them, i.e. no help from sympathetic townsfolk. Upon resurrection, G learns a year has passed and his former posse has established itself as the rich-ass, corrupt law.
Verdict:
All things being equal, not the worst western action flick you've ever seen. I'd say it was more entertaining than any recent western without Jeff Bridges, Clint, or Gene Hackman. Yes, this means FUCK YOU 3:10 to Yuma remake and stop boring the shit out of me, The Revenant.
