Honor Among Thieves

It seems possible that this story could have worked with good actors (the villain was particularly bad), but there were also serious flaws in the directing as well, making the story seem as unbelievable as it was boring.

Lots to enjoy in this flick. Well directed, well acted and just an all around good story. Unfortunate cover art, because it looks like Luis Guzman, so I almost passed this up several times thinking it was a comedy (no offense to Luis Guzman, he's hilarious but I don't like Western comedies). Glad I took a stab and picked it up. Surprisingly good and very entertaining with a protagonist you can cheer for.

I am a fan of westerns. I am always ready to check out independent westerns and I also have to admit not being able to stay long with some of them since these is clear lack of experience in the acting and some other elements. I am often pleasantly surprised to find some that are pretty good and have actors with experience who know what they are doing. This the second surprise in a few days. The other one being named Scalped. This one shows very good acting from participant who have a respectable amount of experience. A message to those whose movies I had to bail out of, keep working at it since experience is the best teacher.

The story had possibilities but the implementation of it was very weak. Actors were rather wooden and the action fragmented - by this I mean events occurred with little or no continuity in first of all the time line and secondly in setting the story in what was supposed to be in different parts of the USA or Mexico but the countryside looked surprisingly identical regardless of where we were led to believe the events were supposedly taking place.

One more point: the bar counter must have been the cleanest, most polished one in the entire country! Surely there was something else that the barman could found to do when he wasn't pouring a drink?

This movie questions so many of the same things I do. The girl was fantastic! All the other actors were good as well. Got a little lost midway but overall enjoyed the journey.
