6 Guns Audience Reviews

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
danvike Everything about this movie is lame. From the lame men who are never ready but should be for blood thirsty animals. To the use of coins from the 1970's to present. How do you use Lincoln Pennies, Roosevelt dimes and Jefferson nickels while gambling during the late 1880s? How hard is it to use fake coins from the era. Unfortunately, I started to watch it and got too far to stop. But it is a tough movie to watch.
The Couchpotatoes If you like good westerns then this is not one of them. It's a B-movie and not a good one. Should be catagorized as C-movie instead if that even exist. The whole movie is so low budget it's ridiculous when you know the Van Dykes are pretty wealthy. I was expecting Doctor Sloane to pop up any moment and solve the case himself. The actors are also pretty lame. Every dialogue is so predictable that a 10 year old could have written it. I don't even know why I watched this thing until the end. I guess it's because I watch 2-3 movies a day and I always want to finish what I started even if I have to suffer. And suffering I did. I won't call this thing a movie because that's an insult to other directors. Low quality, not even good enough to be a TV movie.
David Holt (rawiri42) Why "6 Guns" only gets 3.9 on the IMDb score sheet is a bit puzzling to me. It seems obvious that what would have probably got twice that 40 years ago doesn't come up to 21st century expectations - and yet those same viewers rush into the video stores and snap up DVDs of all those 40-year-old movies in droves and add them to their collections as though they were rare antiques! (Antiques, yes - rare, no!)6 Guns is actually a pretty typical western movie. The plot is predictable, the scenery, including the old western town, is prototypical. Some idiot reviewer has written (as criticism) that the wood in the jail is modern lumber painted to look old and stuff like that. Why didn't he (or she) simply sit back and enjoy the movie for crying out loud? That same person probably makes notes of all the spelling mistakes he finds on road signs and in restaurant menus rather than enjoying the scenery or the food!Someone else has written that Barry van Dyke (Frank Allison) is the image of his dad, Dick but I found it uncanny that, every time he appeared on screen wearing his hat, all I could think of was the late, great Jack Pallance when he was that age! Sage Mears as Selina Stevens, in her first full length movie role was believably good enough to carry the part off. She wasn't over-confident and really came across as a young mother who had watched her two little boys and husband murdered in front of her before herself being gang-raped and her desire for revenge was totally understandable. Yes, I figured out very early that it would be Selina who would end up getting even with totally evil bad-guy, Lee Horn (ex stuntman, Geoff Mead) and, to be honest, I would have been disappointed if that had not been the case.I wonder how many sons have directed their dads in lead roles, as well as a brother (and themselves) in movies. Pity Shane couldn't have fitted granddad, other brother Wes and sister Taryn in somewhere too. Then it would have been a real family affair!Anyway, I enjoyed 6 Guns for what it was (and, I believe what it was intended to be) - a movie that arouses the viewers' anger and desire to see justice (whatever that might be) done. So I give it 7 and will look forward to and watch any sequel's Shane decides to make (after all, Frank did ride off into the sunset and Selina did offer to help him if he needed help! If that isn't crying out for a sequel, what is?)
Wuchak RELEASED TO VIDEO IN 2010 directed by Shane Van Dyke (Dick's grandson), "6 Guns" stars Barry Van Dyke (Dick's son) in a Shane-like role. The plot is pretty typical for Westerns: A band of outlaws murder & rape a family, but the wife (Sage Mears) survives and, after overcoming her disillusionment, wants justice. She eventually enlists the services of a taciturn bounty hunter (Barry Van Dyke) to teach her how to shoot. Meanwhile the outlaws are on the prowl."6 Guns" is a quasi-remake of Raquel Welch's "Hannie Caulder" from almost forty years prior, but lacks that one's comical edge. There are some obvious elements of other Westerns, like "The Bravados" (1958) and "Pale Rider" (1985), but what else is new? Barry is notable as the laconic bounty hunter as he fits the role of the rugged loner to a 'T.' He's akin to Eastwood in the Leone trilogy, but is an actual human character rather than caricature. Geoff Meed chews up the scenery as the main villain with gusto; it's obvious why his men fear him. Mears is quite good as the female protagonist, convincing and winning the viewer's sympathy, while Erin Marie Hogan stands out as the ravishing brunette saloon babe, Scarlet. The vibe is nicely realistic and the locations smack of harsh Western authenticity. All of this is topped off by a great score by Chris Ridenhour, which definitely perks the movie up and gives it class. In fact, the movie's worth watching just for the score.I'm only giving "6 Guns" 6.5/10 Stars because, even though it's a solid Western, it's also low-budget and kind of standard. If I gave it a higher grade people might expect something better than what it is. Still, if you like an occasional Western this one's worthwhile.I was surprised to discover that this was made by The Asylum, a film company notorious for releasing cheap knockoffs of major releases to steal some of their thunder. The Asylum has certainly put out some cartoony dreck (e.g. "30,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "Mega Piranha"), but they can also surprise you with some worthy low-budget stuff (e.g. "The Land That Time Forgot" and "Grimm's Snow White"). "6 Guns" ranks with the latter.THE MOVIE RUNS 95 minutes was shot in California (Spahn Ranch, Chatsworth; Paramount Ranch, Agoura; and Snegoff Ranch, Topenga Canyon). It's rated 'R' for the brutal murder/rape scene.GRADE: B- (6.5/10)
