Many films can either make or break a company in many ways. Some films however are the ones that break a company, much as Heaven's Gate did to United Artists.
The film bombed in theaters and as a result UA ceased to be. Basically the film has to do with the Johnson County War which actually did occur. The film itself is not bad, however the film is very long (3 hours and 40 min). I'll admit it took me months to finish the film. I started watching this film back in February and I just finished watching it about 10 min ago.
Several things led to this movie having problems. One the dust. Some scenes mainly at the end are so dusty it is unwatchable. A lot of dialog is not in English so it makes it harder to watch and there are no subtitles. The films drags on in a lot of places mainly the first 90 min which seem to take forever to get past.
Many of the actors and actresses seem to just go through the motions when giving their lines and thus can seem wooden.
My only real reason for watching this film was to see why is caused UA to go bankrupt. The film is not bad, however it is not for everyone. If you have a lot and I mean A LOT of time to kill, then you can watch this film, otherwise watch what you can before you die of boredom.
