A gang overruns a small mining town murdering their own leader Guerrero (Trejo) in a cold-blooded power grab. Sentenced to eternity in hell he finds himself confronted by Satan himself (Rourke), offering a daring proposition: deliver the six souls of his former gang and he will escape damnation. With time running out, he sets out on a brutal rampage to avenge his own death. Written by

Most of the small weapons used during the shooting scene did not exist at that time, the movie is settled e. g. a Colt 38 Special Police Service weapon (on markets after the turn of the century) several Magnum Type revolvers (S & W .357 Magnum) which did not exist before the 1960ies. Very special are Guererros revolvers, which were simply fantasy weapons: a three barrel Colt Dragoon front, mounted on a Le Mat rear end with the Le Mat 9 shoot cylinder. See more »
'Dead in Tombstone' is A Fair Entertainer, that works due to its fast-paced script, attractive visuals & sincere performances by Danny Trejo & Mickey Rourke.
'Dead in Tombstone' Synopsis: A gang overruns a small mining town murdering their own leader Guerrero, in a cold-blooded power grab. Sentenced to eternity in hell he finds himself confronted by Satan himself, offering a daring proposition: deliver the six souls of his former gang and he will escape damnation. With time running out, he sets out on a brutal rampage to avenge his own death.
'Dead in Tombstone' works as a time-pass entertainer. The Script is predictable, but fast-paced. The momentum is ably maintained & the action-sequences are raw & rustic. Roel Reiné's Direction is well-done. Cinematography is attractive, creating impressive visuals all through.
Performance-Wise: Trejo & Rourke deliver sincerely. While Trejo is much in character, its Rourke who seems to be relaxing & having a ball playing Lucifer.
On the whole, 'Dead in Tombstone' has decent merits.
