Featured review
Not a great movie but for The Asylum 6 Guns is not that bad
The Asylum have made the odd halfway decent movie, though their best don't rise beyond that. Most of their resume is either very bad or bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. Luckily for 6 Guns it is one of their more tolerable outings. It is less than perfect though. There are stretches throughout the movie where it is too slowly paced, and unfortunately in those moments there is not much happening to disguise that problem. When the action it was good and brutal, there was just too little of it and when it wasn't there that was when the film started to drag. Sage Mears has a sort of sweet and sour role that requires many emotions, but while she is beautiful she doesn't convince as a vengeful woman, she is rather emotionless with no fire behind the eyes and even when she is raped people who have lost any kind of sporting round have shown much more emotion. It is not without its anachronisms(the use of the term crack-pot really jarred with the period) and outside of the heroes and villains the characters are one-dimensional with not that much development to them.
On the plus side, 6 Guns is one of The Asylum's better looking movies, the photography is not choppy and the sets look great with a much cleaner look. The soundtrack I really liked too, the criticisms that it is too modern is valid but whether it's memorable and gives the sense of adventure and danger matters even more, the score for 6 Guns does fit those qualities. The script is certainly tighter and less cheesy than usual and it also deserves credit for sticking true to the western theme. It isn't best screenplay quality but for The Asylum it is a step up. The story is not particularly original, but there is some strong tension, and the first 20 minutes is harrowing, unnerving and actually very difficult to look away. Aside from Mears, the acting is quite good. Barry Van Dyke does grizzled and stoic quite well, Geoff Meed is ruthlessly snarky and menacing and Greg Evigan plays admirable and stern endearingly. Even Shane Van Dyke is tolerable, and I don't rate him highly as an actor at all, and directing-wise this is far more assured and competent than Titanic II and Paranormal Entity. All in all, not that bad, for The Asylum it is one of their better efforts definitely. 6/10 Bethany Cox
