RoboRabbit89 I'll get right to it, this film was really not that bad. I mean it was bad, but I think it's one of those it's so bad it's good type of films. I first heard of this film back in 2009 and I waited for years and still nothing, then in 2013 it finally released to DVD. I found it so-so at best but I still liked it. I was at least glad the damn movie finally was released.I'm aware that this film went through some problems in production, I know there was re-shoots and re-writes to this, but I think for a first time director (at least I think he is) did a decent job. I could at least somewhat tell some bits were re-shot, but still done very well. I honestly kinda enjoyed this film, I mean it's bad but I liked it. I consider this a guilty pleasure, I also know that Wesley Snipes went through tax evasion troubles during the production of this, and I think that's why there were re-shoots and re-writes probably to use Wesley as much as possible before his jail time. And you can tell because the movie is narrated by his character but you can easily tell he's voiced by a sound-alike actor, still done pretty good though.Overall a decent high concept and original story. It's an enjoyably bad film and I really liked it. I give it a 3/10. A guilty pleasure by any standard, it's fun in a it's so bad it's good kind of way, complete with over the top violence, wooden acting and an inconsistent story arc, and I think that's the point. At least I'm glad this was finally released. I recommend to give it a look. it's fun.
A Cowboy Cardinal? This is a grab bag of weird.You weapons... you will not need them.This movie elongates all dialog and scenes needlessly.That was unnecessary.Someone is obsessed with long blonde hair.I feel like a worse person for having watched the whole thing, but I don't blame Wesley -- he's getting back into it.
Nigel P Well, this is a load of impressive looking nonsense. Style over substance just about covers it. In this Western horror effort, Wesley Snipes plays Aman who leaves the girl he loves alone one day whilst selling animal skins. During that time, she is gang-raped by a motley crew who leave her with-child. When he discovers this, he is heart-broken about what happened during his absence. To make himself feel better, he leaves her again, this time for five years, only to return to find she died giving birth. This improbable story is told entirely in flashback by Aman and is incredible in its illogical and inept oddness. The reason such a revelation is condensed in such a fashion seems to be that the rest of the running time can then be left to consist of non-eventful scenes that are massively over-choreographed, and while they are visually impressive, there is no naturalness to them whatsoever. Neither to the cast of alleged characters, who aren't introduced, aren't explained, but to make them 'interesting', speak in gruff-voiced cliché throughout.The idea of Snipes playing a loner out for revenge against a horde of zombies in the unforgiving heat of the desert is a very appealing one. The trailer, whilst very stylised, seemed to promise much. And yet 'Gallowwalkers' flounders, and what story there is is laborious and crippled by constant flashbacks, bad wigs, posturing and overtly dramatic line delivery. It's a curiously lifeless exercise – there's a handsome budget on display and some stunning cinematography, but there are no characters to relate to, no emotion and no trace of tension or scares or … anything, really. In fact, if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the best of the film. My one personal highlight was noticing, quite unexpectedly, 70's children's television entertainer Derek Griffiths briefly as a heavily made-up peripheral character Mosca.Snipes had several problems throughout, due to tax problems and subsequent arrest. Perhaps the delays this caused threw the production schedule into disarray and accounts for the choppy tone of events (and for the many close-ups of Mr Snipes – many long-shots seem to feature a body double). But as to the po-faced dullness, the lack of anything for the audience to invest in, the non-existent story, incompetent lip-syncing, the absence of thrills … who can possibly say? Perhaps the fact that the film was released (straight to DVD) eight years after production commenced tells its own story, which is more than 'Gallowwalkers' does. A gruelling experience.
kluseba "Gallowwalkers" does pretty much everything wrong that anyone could possibly expect from a movie.The plot is not just really ordinary but got cut into many pieces and separated into confusing flashbacks which make this film quite hard to follow and almost unwatchable. This flick has a horrible flow and way too many lengths. The little twists in the story are not surprising but really random.The acting in this movie is extremely shallow and wooden. It's not necessarily a question of talent but it has to do with passion. To me, the actors don't seem to be convinced of their own roles and you can feel their bored, mechanical and unprofessional attitude throughout the entire flick.The negative elements don't stop there. The locations are really unspectacular. The duel at the railway is in the middle of nowhere and there wasn't even enough budget for a train. The weird prisons are randomly situated somewhere in the desert. There wasn't even enough Budget for any proper building since there are only cheap cages and old tents. Even the showdown doesn't take place on an elevated mountain but on a most ordinary hill. The special effects including lighting techniques, sound effects and visual elements can be described as an emotionless routine job at best and as completely forgettable if you want to be honest. Even the second-hand shop costumes and the cheap make-up are so bad that an unexperienced high school theater group would have done a more convincing job without any budget.Now, if this kind of movie lacks intriguing effects, a gripping plot and solid acting, it should at least come around with some addicting action or gore scenes as many films of this kind do. Even at this level, the movie is a miserable failure. The shootings feel predictable, stretched and unspectacular and there is only one kind of gore scene that is constantly repeated. That's why this movie lacks both action and tension. It feels incredibly long and hard to sit through, even for fans of bad b movies, cheap horror movies and modern westerns.Another problem is that this movie takes itself too serious and cannot even be considered a missed attempt at a genre parody or a film that simply wants to be absurd and please to some drunkards. It's just a bad movie from any point of view.There is only one minor reason why this poor excuse for a flick isn't the worst thing I may have watched. The movie has a small amount of a cool, dry and sinister atmosphere since we have to deal with the classic western stereotype of a silent and tough gunman who wants to take revenge for something obscure that happened in the past. Even though Wesley Snipes' acting is horrible, he still has the fitting look for this kind of cliché.In the end, there is no reason whatsoever to purchase or watch this movie. The trailer looks much better than what you get for real. Don't waste your precious time on this disaster and avoid this at all costs.
