Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

garyshreffler If Quentin would stop with all the dialog and let his actors do their jobs, it would be more like this. The visuals remind me of Unforgiven with WAY more humor. The idea of a cowboy worried about his junk not working is gleefully funny. I never knew ANY part of NZ looked like this, looks like parts of Southern AZ by the San Pedro river (you saw it in Tombstone during Wyatt and Josie's ride and the shootout at the creek). Added this to my western collection. Like to see Inge in more roles but it's tough when, to get in one, you have to be a producer. Well worth 90+ minutes of your time!

casca-rufio Anyone knowledgeable of what the west was really like, what people living in the west back then were like and in some sense still are like, will appreciate this as a very realistic film. I normally do not like overly realistic films since they just are not very entertaining, average people just are not that interesting, fantasy is much more fun, however this one held my attention. It is hard to believe an obviously lower budget film employed writing, directing and acting of such caliber. All of the reality, but none of the inconsistency of most "reality" type films that end up more like a role playing session in a theater class, with obviously contrived lines, overacting, speech making, and erratic flow. Just enough time was devoted to each scene to present the plot and the characters without over doing anything. At no time is the viewer accosted with an actor's exaggerated attempts to impress the audience with their skills. The fight scenes were actually very realistic. Very few handguns had any degree of accuracy, and even fewer people were any good at shooting. Real gunfights could result in both parties using all rounds in their guns without seriously injuring either party, unless they were very close. Some of the famous gunfights actually took several shots to finish, not the single fast shot in most of the movies.Spoiler: I do agree with some of the comments that certain parts did not make a lot of sense. Not taking the horses and other property of the slain attackers. Not only useful at the time, but also valuable. I would also question the "posse" not considering the value of returning the girl unmolested to her rich uncle.Probably the most obvious technical error was the girl riding with bare shoulders without obvious effect. Even one day of riding exposed, with her complexion, would have resulted in extreme sunburn and blistering.

nowego Whoever gave this the low ratings to make the overall rating on here such a low rating have done this movie a dis service. This is not a 4.9-5 movie it is IMO at least a 6.I have long been a big fan of Westerns, with Clint Eastwood and Henry Fonda's movies being up there as the best of them all.This one is not up to their standard but it does a good job of entertaining.I hadn't seen or heard of Cohen Holloway or Inge Rademeyer who were the main actors and they did a very good job in their respective roles, hopefully they will get further work, well worth watching out for.I loved the gunfight in the river, that and the general antics of the posse had me in stitches quite a few times.The music and cinematography of the film is first rate, up there with the best, I had trouble believing that the movie was shot in New Zealand.I gave it a 7 out of 10.

Helmholtz To be a great "bad" film, a movie must somehow keep your eyes glued to the screen will suppressing that nauseous feeling in the pit of your stomach urging you to press the stop button on the remote. In this regard, Good For Nothing is an overwhelming success. With a story line vaguely reminiscent of Two Mules for Sister Sarah, our protagonist (aka The Man) is an enigmatic drifter who blasts his way through the New Zealand landscape, all the whilst coping with ED, in search of love. The guns did look vintage, in a cool way, and the gun fights, while surreal by Hollywood standards, flirted with a dark comedic edge that may well have surrounded actual gun fights of the "real" west.Cinematography had its moments, but the soundtrack was rather disjointed often not coinciding with the action on the screen. A great movie to give as a gag gift for a special relative for the holidays. Whatever this movie has, it has in spades. As I must reluctantly admit, I watched it to the end and will be looking for the sequel. I'll add it to my personal list of favorite "bad" movies, along with Tommy Wiseau's The Room.
