Reviews

Animenter There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
thomasjay-52277 A fantastic post modern premise this short is hilarious and masterfully crafted. Quick and straight to the point this surprisingly action packed quickie has the potential for a full scale film and I highly recommend a watch
Kirpianuscus A voice. and a lot of secrets. a saloon. and precise portrait of characters. dirty facts, the truth as the gun and seed of hate. and the strange humor doing a story who has great chances to become boring a provocative one. because it seems a sort of version of "Decameron". facts, sins, hate and ...the surviver. a challenge film. for see a so familiar genre. in a different light.
arie-vanloon Normally I don't watch short films, but this one was definitely worth the exception. The concept with the narrator may not be entirely new, but it is played out very well.The running gag (the all knowing narration) is accompanied by a few nice jokes will make you grin. The film doesn't take itself too serious, which helps.Acting is good, camera work is good. A must see when you want to kill some time in a way you won't regret (which is rare these days with all the big productions that put massive special effects in front of decent acting and good plots).
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Gunfighter" is a 9-minute award-winning western comedy short film from last year. The title character steps into a bar and we hear the narrator telling us what is happening. However, he is not only telling us as the people inside the western bar can also hear what he says. So we find out pretty much for the rest of the movie who did it with whom and in the end, it seems everybody is angry at everybody because they have been sleeping with each other's sisters, wives and sheep. The narrator is Nick Offerman, so this may be a particularly interesting watch for fans of "Parks & Recreation". I do not know any of the actors in here, which may have hurt my viewing experience a bit as it was simply too fast to know who is who. However, it was a decent watch nonetheless and even if it was the same joke for the entire film, it was not yet at a point where it had dragged. Maybe this could have been the case at the 15-minute mark. Anyway, the director here is Eric Kissack, a prolific editor, for example on Sacha Baron Cohen's works. Good little movie and I recommend it.
