Cowboys & Indians (2011)
A Great Example of Bad Cinema
Would give it one star but the sheer horrendous nature of the film gives one at least a little bit of fun mocking it.
Where to start.
The acting and script are beyond bad. It seems like they were almost trying to be more campy than the old racists Westerns from the 50's and failed. I an shocked they were able to find that many really horrible Amerind actors. I've seen third grade plays with more depth to the characters.
Set and costuming: Okay I get that they have no budget but honestly the anachronisms were over the top. Surely there must have been someone around at the time that could have dug up some props that weren't entirely composed of shiny new plastic. None of the weapons, be they native or European, were period and the costumes seem to be entirely composed of items the director had found in the back of his closet. I imagine the beads were probably left over from the previous years Mardi Gras celebration.
Would not watch again. Wish I hadn't watched in the first place.
