Two Sinners and a Mule

First of all, the title of this movie is so poorly chosen, that it just leads you to think in a whole different playing field. I wonder if no one actually raised their hand at any point and said 'uhm, the title though?'.

I have to say that the synopsis for this 2023 Western movie titled "Two Sinners and a Mule" sounded interesting enough. And thus I opted to pick up the movie and sit down to watch it. I hadn't actually heard about the movie prior to stumbling upon it by random luck.

Writer Beau Hilliard put together a script and storyline that had promise, for sure. But there was just something lacking from the movie to make it a properly entertaining movie. I wanted to like "Two Sinners and a Mule", I really did, but the movie was just falling short of being entertaining. I suppose it was a combination of the pacing of the narrative, the lack of entertaining contents, and the fact that the characters had the appeal of tadpoles.

Of the entire cast ensemble that starred in "Two Sinners and a Mule", then I was only familiar with Cam Gigandet. But they definitely had a good selection of skilled actors and actresses on the cast ensemble, just a shame that they didn't have proper contents to work with and bring to the screen.

For a Western movie then "Two Sinners and a Mule", from director Raliegh Wilson, came and went without leaving a lasting impression. It is hardly a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time, as it was a struggle to sit through it the first time around.

Visually then "Two Sinners and a Mule" just didn't really come off as a proper era-set Western. Everything felt too new, spotless and clean.

My rating of "Two Sinners and a Mule" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

For a low budget film this was an engaging story that was well paced and entertaining. The acting and scenery are fine. It's a simple tale and all great westerns should be. It's a story of finding some human kindness in a harsh western land.

I love the old spaghetti westerns personally, and this doesn't have any of the intensity or suspense of those. It was more straight forward and possibly not well directed. There didn't seem to be an overall vision in play that was carried out to perfection like some great movies.

However it's a watchable film that is quite interesting to watch until the very end. That's what you want in any film. There is nothing worse than just thinking man this film sucks. While some reviews are poor I don't think they're really appreciating the entertainment factor of the film but rather complaining about technical issues which are irrelevant to me.

Well worth a watch at 7/10.

Horrible attempt of making a western movie.... The soundtrack was horrible the sound of the wind blowing drove me nuts along with the sounds of the horse hooves just ridiculous....

The horses were on the dirt and they made it sound like they were on pavement.... The editing was a joke. This movie will go down as the worse movie I've watched. I'll never get that hour and forty minutes back....

With a movie that bad at least you could have had a better ending....to make up for the horrendous soundtrack not even a soundtrack, the horses, the wind blowing all that drove all of us nuts... Do not waste your time watching this one.

Bad acting and plot is not what I expected. I don't think I would ever watch a movie like this again. It had bad acting the plot was terrible. The guy got shot so much at times it didn't make any sense The funniest part was when she poured coffee all over him while he was sleeping, and then it was gone in the next scene It was too funny when they were so close to each other yet they couldn't shoot and hit each other. They were all bad shots.

The bad part about it that it wasn't free. I asked for a refund, but I wouldn't know where to go for that good lesson learned is maybe read reviews about it next time.

This is not a good western. It's not even good, accidentally.

Raleigh Wilson is known locally in New Mexico for being a stunt guy who gives "homie hookups" to his friends and grandkids while denying others opportunities.

That said, he did not get the cream of the crop for this awful movie. The cinematography was hit and miss, the acting was laughable at best. I'm not sure how Raleigh landed the director's chair on this (oh, yes I do: politics), but it's clear he should stay in stunts.

I give this 2 stars because some of the actors were trying their best with the material they had. Like I said, if you look up his director's filmography, you'll see there was a lot of cronyism here, too. I suppose for Hollywood it's par for the course.

My advice: skip this movie.
