This movie wants to be a movie if and when it can. You have two named stars who could pull it off but fail to do so and the Director needs directing himself too. I kept thinking of a Clint Eastwood movie spaghetti film while watching this and I saw how this movie tried that format but couldn't quite get a toe hold. This movie comes across like slow-motion i.e. you want something to happen before it happens because you know it should but the movie moves at its own pace. Thus the viewer and the film never connect. I watch Audie and Broderick two veterans of the film world go through tired motions and got the feeling that their paychecks where holding them up. Even the horses, woman and whiskey (apple juice) in this movie looked tired and depressed. Bottom line? This movie should not even be shown but the lure of the two movie stars allows it to live on. I like to eat during films but this makes you slow down to the point where eating is the movie and this is a distraction. Too bad. This reminds me of the cliché "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all". The strangest thing worth sharing is as follows. I have a movie collection of DVD's for years and I was desperate for something to watch with nothing being on cable or Netflix that interested me and I discover this in my collection. I don't even know how it got there LOL
