Shoot first and pray you live

This movie I expected from what I read to be a western and a decent western. Instead i found myself staring at nonsense. The synopsis of this movie from the website reads, " Red Pierre has come up from the mountains of a Mexican Monastery to avenge his dying father, who had been fatally wounded by the outlaw, Bob McGurk. A man the locals say cannot be beaten to the draw.

But before Pierre can meet the invincible gunman, he’s picked up by Jim Boone and his gang, the Cut-Throats. Despite the protests of the other outlaws, Boone makes Pierre a member of his gang, a replacement for his dead son. And so Pierre rides with the wild marauders, all skilled gunfighters, including Boone’s wild young daughter, Jack.

At last the scene is set for the showdown between Pierre and McGurk, but even when it takes place and a wounded McGurk leaves the range, the blood feud is not been settled. One of them still has to be killed.

Presented as a graphic homage to the classic Spaghetti Westerns, SHOOT FIRST AND PRAY YOU LIVE is a tale of love and Revenge."

Okay, sounds good right?!... I am thinking cool a western, I haven't watched a western in a long time. Oh where is the Duke when you need him? This movie stunk. I only got half way into it to before I decided to turn it off.

This movie has 70's tunes the old whaaa waaaa and spider-man swooshing noises in the backgrounds and pauses at times to give you in big bold yellow letters who the heck these gun men were . It just seemed a little corny. Red shoots this guy in the beginning of the movie. Then you see blood spurt out of a half gone finger like something you would see in an old horror flick. All of a sudden words are flipping up on the screen ONE and it shows the finger, TWO and it shows another wound .. etc.

I couldn't finish this movie to save my life. This movie had no point what so ever to it besides this guy running around with other outlaws who he was kidnapped by a deranged man and made to live with them. He has guns he could have shot him and got away instead he makes a deal to stay as long as he can use this guy's posse.

I wanted to shoot myself 10 minutes into this flick instead I just turned it off. No use watching it, it sucks.

That is just my opinion. You can base your own.
