GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

robbie omeara All around a terrible movie; I started the movie with a positive attitude simply because its a western but as time went on it just got worse, but really what could you expect from a movie with a budget of just 100k. It was way too cheesy and predictable. The majority of the actors weren't great either. The story line seemed a bit stupid, the woman practiced for literally 2 days shooting and at the end was barely able to, then she goes straight into a gunfight resulting in her having to be saved, twice, then after its all over she goes onto become a professional bounty hunter? Seems a bit dumb considering she can't even shoot in the first place. Btw, killing the two kids at the start was stupid, movies seem to do this a lot just for sympathy and I think it's a terrible way to gain the viewers sympathy. Wouldn't give this movie anymore than a 3/10 because even with 3 I'm being a bit generous.

TheLittleSongbird 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

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?)

Johnny_Hing I watched this while having a bad day and still found it mildly entertaining, and that's saying something, as I'm not easily-pleased with B-grade movies. Low-budget, sure. Predictable plot, yeah. But the acting was decent. Nice to see Greg Evigan as the sheriff (I remembered him from B.J. and the Bear some 30 years ago, and hardly recognized him.) Sage Mears as the female lead was rather easy on the eyes, and believable. Her character didn't suddenly become the fastest gun alive after taking shooting lessons, which would seem to be the norm for this type of Western revenge genre. She learned how to hold a gun and pull the trigger, but not a whole lot more. There were a few anachronistic-type flaws, as has been pointed out, but they were easily overlooked. I'm not going to recommend that you make a special trip to the video store. But if you're in the mood for a Western, I've seen much worse. (Try sitting through a Dwight Yoakum Western and see what I mean.)
