bowmanblue 'Dead in Tombstone' is about an outlaw, Danny Trejo, who gets doublecrossed by his gang and murdered, only to find himself out of the frying pan and into the fiery depths of hell himself. However, not wanting to spend the rest of eternity having his skin ripped off by the devil (aka Mickey Rourke), he makes a bargain to deliver the souls of the gang who murdered him. Not wanting to get into the reason why the devil agrees to this (baring in mind he's immortal and therefore could simply choose to wait until the gang dies before collecting their souls that way). But, anyway, the devil grants Trejo a day to shoot them all dead and deliver their souls.If you've seen the advertising, you may notice that Mickey Rourke - naturally - second billing, suggesting he's in it equally as much as Danny Trejo. However, he is sadly very underused. Fans of his may need to know he's not in it as much as the advertising may suggest he is.There's no shortage of action in the film, all of which is surprisingly stylishly directed. However, the uber-quick editing may annoy some people after the millionth cut. It's basically a revenge-western with a small helping of supernatural added into it when the plot requires as such. There may not be a 'romance element' to the film, but that doesn't stop Dina Meyer getting herself kidnapped every chance she gets.It's not a bad film. Everything is okay and yet never seems to spill over to either 'really good' or 'really bad.' It could well be the most 'on the fence' movie ever made. If you like Danny Trejo, you should enjoy this, however, like I say, Mickey Rouke fans may be left-short-changed.

suite92 Red Cavanaugh is about to be hung, but the rest of the Blackwater Gang rescue him. Red sells them a plan to liberate some gold. His half-brother and co-leader of the gang, Guerraro, agrees as long as they make it a quick and relatively clean operation.Once the plan is in motion, though, Red bloodies the town and kills his brother, as well as the sheriff. Red takes over the town with the remaining Blackwater Gang as his fellow enforcers. He joins forces with an English business man to keep a choke hold on the town and the mining of the gold.Meanwhile, Guerrero has a long chat with Lucifer, and strikes a deal with him. If Guerrero can snuff his old gang, Lucifer will restore him to life above ground.The bloodletting increases. One might expect that, given the cast and the setup of the screenplay.Does Guerrero re-gain his life, or does Red foul up his plans again?-----Scores-----Cinematography: 7/10 Nicely atmospheric, but had some terrible hand-held moments.Sound: 6/10 I could hear the dialog, which was fine, but the sound did not add much to the mood of the piece.Acting: 8/10 I liked the four principal actors in this property.Screenplay: 4/10 This video would have been better at 75 minutes rather than 99. The script was a bit short on ideas, and long on torture, murder, forced labor, revenge, and betrayals.

detroitcritic One can say that Danny Trejo is one of the hardest working man in Hollywood starring in more than 250 movies and so far hasn't been a disappoint to watch. Dead in Tombstone is no exception, action packed from beginning to end.Danny Trejo as Guerrero is typical of his bad-ass type that made him famous. Mickey Rourke as Satan was a good cast, his narration and popping in and out of scenes was cool. While I waited throughout the whole movie to see Anthony Michael Hall and to my surprise he was Red Cavanaugh (Danny Trejo's brother) all along, great character disguise.If you like westerns, sci-fi and/or supernatural movies then its a good watch.

LeonLouisRicci Dead on Arrival, this DTV Movie is just Awful. Once again They hire an Epileptic Cameraman that is in Denial. The Vision is that anything is not worthy of being On Screen unless it is a Shaky Whip-Pan and Quick Cut. This results in Motion Sickness. Please, Hollywood take notice. Stop this Immediately. It does not and never has been anything but annoying. But yet it is used again and again even in Mega-Budget Action Movies. Listen Up from Outside the Bubble. It is not energetic or adrenaline inducing, it is Nauseating.This Movie suffers from much more than that. Mickey Rourke's Dialog seems Dubbed by a Line Reader with absolutely no Ability to do anything except Read Lines. The Intriguing Premise is totally Mishandled in what could have been an Exciting Genre Bending Movie.It is a Colorless Palette with nothing but Blacks and Bluish High Contrast. The whole Thing looks like a Video Game that Flopped. There is nothing here to Recommend and Fans of the Cult Favorite, Danny Trejo will check in only to find that this is nothing more than a commendable effort lost in a Wilderness of Woefulness.
