Description

Fun to a degree, but overcome by familiarity, not to mention a camera that often won't stop moving.

I am a film editor, cinematographer and even worked as a Zombie stuntman. So, film, and especially cheesy low budget film is an area of expertise for me. I even have the honor of teaching a film class, "Aesthetics of Editing". Betrayed by his gang, shot to pieces and sent to Hell, infamous outlaw Guerrero de la Cruz strikes a deal with the Devil, a fallen angel eager to add a few more bloodthirsty villains to his collection. Rising from the grave, Cruz is granted a 24-hour window to hunt down his killers -- Snake (Edward Akrout), Darko (Ovidiu Niculescu), Baptiste (Emil Hostina), Ramos (Ronan Summers), Washington (Radu Micu) and their money grubbing, power hungry leader, Red Cavanaugh (Anthony Michael Hall) -- and condemn them to Lucifer's torture chambers, where they belong. But Guerrero's simple mission is complicated by a plot to to control a series of gold mines, the involvement of a corrupt businessman named Judah Clark (Colin Mace), and the emergence of Calathea Massey (Dina Meyer), the widow of a local sheriff (Daniel Lapaine) Red killed minutes before Cruz. As for our behind-the-scenes looks into Dead In Tombstone, a lot of ground is covered. Sporting a bevy of riches, the special features focus on general production, the weaponry used on set and how some of it came about, director Roel Reiné and his vision, and lastly that magnificent town I talked about. The problem is, unless you like Reiné’s film and are truly interested in seeing how movie magic was used to create the final product, you’ll find much of these extras passable and boring. But, for those of you who love this sort of thing, you’ve gotta some goodies worth your while! The film follows on the events of 'Dead in Tombstone'. We learn more about Guerrero's family and meet his daughter and mother, and also realize there was a reason the Devil made a deal with him in the first film. With Roel Reine returning as director, this is another visually stunning treat - visually even better than the original film. The cinematography is STUNNING. The photography and aerial shots are FANTASTIC. There are some films I'll watch again and again for the sake of the cinematography - and this is such a film. It's one amazing shot after the next. Some shots are breathtakingly beautiful. It's the type of photography you expect from big budget productions.

Notable: Dean McDermott as Dr Goldsworthy who we suspect is something more than human and he tries to have Guerrero reject Lucifer's hold on him. Supernatural, remember? Is there a giant explosion in the film? Yes. Which surprisingly looks good. And are there humans riding horses at top speeds covered in fire? Yes there are. So if this is the type of western film, you're wanting, then by all means you'll have a good time with this. But be wary of the one-note characters, the poor dialogue and the awful action sequences. As with Roel's other films, and as he discusses in the extras, he tends to set up multiple cameras during the action scenes so he can film everything in one go around and be done with it. The results are disastrous and don't transfer well to the final product. Instead of a coherent and well made action sequence, we get a jumbled mess of a film where we are trying to figure out what is really going on. He is really not showing much in terms of terrifying presence or supernatural powers. Whenever he springs into action he is just blundering in shooting at everything that moves and usually he gets shot up and "dies" in the process. Afterwards he get's revived and the process starts all over again. Unrated Cut of the Film: The Blu-ray edition of Dead in Tombstone features two stabs at the film: a 100-minute unrated cut and a 100-minute R-rated cut. It's already a bit redundant to issue both a rated and unrated cut on a direct-to-video release, but with both being the same length, the differences amount to little. The unrated cut is even six seconds shorter.

Performance-Wise: Trejo & Rourke deliver sincerely. While Trejo is much in character, its Rourke who seems to be relaxing & having a ball playing Lucifer. So Dead again in Tombstone is an Awesome sequel with a more Mythical Danny Trejo as Guerrero & with an even more Supernatural & Exciting storyline, so enjoy. The sequel is a bit weaker than the first film (not surprising, they usually are), and it really goes a bit too far with ignoring its own rules about Guerrero and his resurrections, as well as the fact that it doesn’t come anywhere NEAR Tombstone this time, but hey. I actually had some fun with it. Trejo plays his tough hardguy role to the T, while Busey hams it almost as much as his legendary father with the role of Boomer (just without some of the insanity that poor Gary is known for). Everyone else is pretty much DTV fodder and has the acting chops that mirror that genre. Director Roel Reine isn't exactly a great director. All of his feature films have never made it to the theater. All have been direct-to-video, including a couple of the 'Death Race' sequels and 'The Scorpion King 3'. Not exactly the cream of the crop. His problem is that he doesn't really know how to direct his actors as well as shoot any type of action scene that is thrilling or coherent. And with 'Dead in Tombstone', these are the aspects that make this would be fun-as-hell film fail. If the first film already seemed quite cheap and didn't bet so much on quality, this film is even worse and more miserable. They are both niche films, oriented to satisfy a certain part of the public that looks for raw action films, and not that elegant and classic cinema that almost everyone likes. However, I don't know if this was even able to satisfy the audience for which it was intended.Deleted Scenes (HD, 21 minutes): Nine deleted scenes -- "It's Time," "Mrs. Massey is Queen," "Death Walks Among Us," "The Name of This Town is Tombstone," "Ramos Visits Guerrero's Grave," "You Know It's a Slaughterhouse," "Guerrero Grabs the Guard," "Thanks Again Guerrero" and "Who Should Be Left to Stand?" -- plus a "Deleted Shots Montage" are included. The Making of Dead in Tombstone (HD, 10 minutes): Go behind the scenes in this EPK-style production featurette, complete with interviews with key members of the cast and crew. In a town run by crooks, criminals, and miscreants, Anthony Michael Hall (yes, the 1980s teen star) leads a notorious gang of nogoodniks who take control of a gold mining town, each gang member posing a unique threat. There’s the arsonist, the thief, the murderer – every Western baddie is covered with this wild crew. Red Cavanaugh (Hall) remains the most charismatic of the bunch, and is the true villain that our anti-hero Guerrero guns for, but the hunt for each gang member provides that silly, B-Movie type fun, as one by one these criminals see their numbers dwindle, and the body count rise.
