When the most wanted man in America surfaces in a small Kentucky town, his violent history -- and a blood-thirsty mob seeking vengeance and a king's ransom -- soon follow. As brothers face off against one another and bullets tear the town to shreds, this lightning-fast gunslinger makes his enemies pay the ultimate price for their greed.

Gunslingers is not the finest hour for any actor involved, though they run the gamut from competency to simply being too modern in look and manner to convince in a period setting that already feels like some sort of western cosplay weekend.

Only Cage’s most diehard cultists will want to go to bat for this performance, and they could easily struggle to accentuate the positive.

Rated: .5/4

AV Club

A bargain-brand Western that boasts a few middle-aged stars and a collection of clichés that largely predate the talkie.

Rated: D+

A film so cobbled together it seems like it was churned out under duress.

Muddled and laughable, this terrible movie lands right in the spittoon with the worst Westerns of all time. Gunslingers is so bad that even Cage cultists are likely to wince at its ineptitudes and bizarre choices.

Rated: 1/5

Really hate to do this because I am a fan of all the actors in this but unfortunately this was a waste of their time. This movie was lame and pretty boring......Stephen Dorf is so much better than this along with Costas Mandalay...Nick Cage eh he will pretty much act in anything lately....but he too is better than this movie. As for Heather Graham.... pretty much her type of movie since I think her acting is pretty bad so she fit right in . Ya don't waste your time on this one

Like they said, one of the worst westerns ever filmed! This to me was a serious low point for the actors involved. And to think I paid a rental fee to watch it! I wouldn't watch this flick if it was free every day! Lousy writing, terrible historical references, lousy costumes. A fedora! A 1940 rain jacket as a duster! Come on man! Any high school drama teacher with the same actors and budget and a good English teacher, could have done better!

This was a decent movie to watch. I get so tired of some of the serious drama all of the time, I just wanted to see a story and that's what I got with this movie. If you are looking for an award winning movie than skip it. If you want to relax and just catch a western with several faces you'll recognize than why not. The story is good.

This movie was just what I thought it would be. Tombstone it's not, but I did have fun watching it. I didn't take it in as a serious western, but as a campy story , with a little bit of west in it. The story is about a motley crew of gunslingers who inhabit a town of their own as a hideaway. They get visitors that want to take them in for rewards. The gunplay is there and was entertaining enough to watch and eat pizza 🍕 with. If you want a campy ,western to watch, then give a try.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

OLIVIER S

This movie is a disaster To Watch. Plot is ridiculously inept and laughable and full of predictible clichés. How have actors of this stature being enrolled in this parody? Is the director their best friend’ s néphrétique? Their play is pathetic. Editing is chaotic, special effects probably performed by the local highschool theatre company. Don’t spend your time watching this catastrophe
