EIFF-2010---The-Last-Rites-of-Ransom-Pride.jpg

Jesus, it’s a slow news day.

So here’s the trailer for The Last Rites Of Ransom Pride, a western/revenge flick (aren’t all Westerns revenge flicks?) directed and co-written by Tiller Russell (previous works of note: none). It’s got a fairly unique premise contained in its (albeit brief) IMDB synopsis: A western centered on a woman trying to bring her outlaw lover home for his burial.

It’s also got a pretty interesting cast — Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls, “True Blood”), Peter Dinklage (!), Kris Kristofferson, and Dwight Yoakam. If you can ignore the presence of Jason Priestly (finally returning to westerns after his brief, pathetic turn in Tombstone) and the man-shaped pile of wood called Scott Speedman (again, you mention “Felicity” and you get a badger crammed up your ass), it’s a fine cast.

So here’s the trailer. And it looks fucking terrible. Terrible accents, terrible editing, atrocious dialogue, and fourth grade-level production values.

I mean, wow. Unsurprisingly, it’s going straight to DVD next month. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s just a really poorly cut trailer.

I don’t think I’m wrong.

I don't know, this looks like A Clockwork Orange set in the old west, what with all the EYELINER and mod hats and all.

It's got Cote de Pablo. That means I have to at least consider seeing it. And with a little luck Peter Dinklage will take some of the sting out of the rest of it.

WOW!! That looks awful!
An honest to goodness roll in the floor laughing movie.
But Lizzy Caplan is adorable and I will always have time for her and her eyes.
And was that the short dude from The Station Agent not In Bruges??
And Schweringens sidekick in Deadwood!!

Are you sure this isn't a fake trailer? This is a joke, right? I mean, no film is this bad.

Can't believe you didn't mention the leading man/love interest to our heroine, amazing actor Jon Foster. His charisma is almost overpowering so I can understand how you could have gotten a bit confused.

So here’s the trailer. And it looks fucking terrible.

Which means it HAS to get reviewed. By you, specifically.

This is serious? It's not a joke? It looks like it's a joke. Tell me it's a joke, Lizzy.

Lizzy looks about as interested as someone waiting to get a filling at the dentist. I'll pass on this.

But since we're on the subject of westerns, when are they gonna do a remake of "Bad Girls". I really loved that movie.

I can't believe this movie ripped off one of the most iconic dialogues from the greatest western ever: "There are two kinds of people..." And it was not even a good rip-off!
