Ghost Town (2009 TV Movie)
1/10
Quickly went downhill

Warning: Spoilers
Others have mentioned the crap acting, the pitiful collapse of the plot and low budget. One thing that I have not seen mentioned is the horribly obvious screw up by the property master. Now these scenes at the first while started out as a fairly decent cheap rent action "oater" showed some horrible lack of either knowledge or concern to period correctness. The female outlaw is toting a Thompson's Contender pistol...the original model. Problem? This gun came out in the late 1960's...about 100 years after the time in the opening scene. The leader whips out of his double holsters (at least they got 2 of the same gun for him), what looks like a matched set of Smith and Wesson model 69 .44magnum revolvers....May be the slightly smaller .357 but I don't think it is. Think "Dirty Harry" same gun except Harry's had about a 3 inch longer barrel. Problem? Once again the gun wasn't in existence until a hundred years after the time of the movie. As a gun hobbyist, these royal screw ups, really chafe my cookies. Pretty much made me lose interest....some alright action scenes but those lousy pistol mistakes kept bugging me every time an outlaw ghost shows up
