Shadowheart (2009)

Too much of everything

Crappy film

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

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This movie was a terrible waste of time and $1 at Redbox. I have not hated any movie this much in years. I should have recognized this as direct to video, but I didn't because it was on Redbox and I was looking for a movie to watch with family who liked westerns. It makes for a good drinking game. If you drink every time something ridiculous is happening, you will be falling down drunk before its over. Please waste your money or just throw it away. Don't rent this whatever you do. It just gets worse as it goes along. I can't really relate how lame this film is. Movies are just not this bad. I am shocked that this was ever released. Its like a bad car wreck. You can't look away, except in this case you can, and you should. Like another reviewer said. NO REDEEMING QUALITIES.

The bad guy was too bad, no redeeming qualities. (and the good guy was too good, no redeeming qualities.) When the sheriff didn't just shoot him in jail - when no one with a gun would shoot him, well, there were no characters to root for and we had to turn the thing off! I don't know what else to say about it except we think the other reviewer was being kind. Too bad. We were looking forward to a good western for the family. I have to write three more lines, but I have nothing more to say... The bad guy was too bad, no redeeming qualities. (and the good guy was too good, no redeeming qualities.) When the sheriff didn't just shoot him in jail - when no one with a gun would shoot him, well, there were no characters to root for and we had to turn the thing off! I don't know what else to say about it except we think the other reviewer was being kind. Too bad. We were looking forward to a good western for the family.

I liked the movie. I shot a movie at Paramount ranch and I really liked how they used the town. It is not very big and yet they gave it a very large western feel.Production Design was great.I thought the acting was great in some parts and just OK in others.The sound design and score was perfect. Subtle yet a character in itself.It very much had a faith feel to me. It was like a Christian movie for adults...until then end. It only looses this faith feel as the man carries out his vengeance. In fact, the big title line is: A Man Comes for Revenge....and Finds Redemption. However. he never finds redemption. He comes for Revenge and eventually gets it.Conclusion: a little long, slow at parts, but overall was a good film.

I really think me and my kid could have come up with a better screenplay. This totally predictable movie was one stereotype after another. Bad guys were tired old clichés and the hero was a total ZERO. What a loser. By the end of the movie I was hoping he would lose out to the bad guys! How do movies like this get into circulation? This movie showed me no creativity at all. Even the cinematography was bad-I found myself critiquing shot angles and I never have done that before. The dialog was clipped and poorly delivered, the character development was awful, the screenplay showed no imagination at all. Don't waste your time with this movie, read a cereal box instead, you'll get more out of it!
