Redemption: A Mile from Hell (2009)

Too much of everything

Best movie ever!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I am not knocking Netflix but one of the reasons I keep the old school service of renting DVD's is so I can access movies that don't seem to be available from other sources. That in mind, I am prepared to see a lot of movies that that I probably would not see from anywhere else not even on cable.Redemption is better than a lot of the westerns that I get to see through this service. The sets, costuming, and acting are pretty good. I am only disappointed by two things: when it was supposed to be dark, it was too dark to see anything. Also, not to appear morbid, no one explained why the dead woman was tied to a stake in the street.Good job on a very limited budget.

This may actually be the worst one I've ever seen, and among the worst movies I've seen in general.Where do I even begin? The acting was horrible (can you say overacting?), the plot was weak and the dialog sucked. And don't even get me started on the accents. I felt like I was watching a first semester community college acting class. For those who actually thought this was a really good Western, I can only assume that you don't rent a lot of good ones. The only good thing I could find about this movie was the fact that it was so terrible, it was actually funny, although I'm sure that's not what the director was going for.

I would give this one star, but, I dunno, I feel sorry for the people who made it.I don't know what happened, I think somebody wanted this hot Mexican chick and killed some people. In the meantime, there was a lot of canned dialog. Then the guy who wanted the chick was tortured. It was gross, but so unrealistic I wasn't bothered by it.This is what a movie made in Iraq would be like, I think they just got people off the street who looked hungry and told them if they acted in this movie they would feed them a big mac.Not only is it bad content, the quality of the image is similar to a VHS home video. All in all, just don't waste the gas driving somewhere then taking this back with you.

This movie must fall in the "so bad it's good category." It's a poor movie in every way: poor script, poor direction, poor photography, and generally poor acting -- though to be fair the main actor is doing his best.This good-looking guy shows up in this God-forsaken place in search of a Mexican girl, to take her back presumably to somewhere she'd rather be. She is currently a prostitute. On his way to the girl, a few guys are killed, spoof-like. Will the girl be saved? Will the guy outsmart enemies? If you really want to find out, there are two ways: either watch the movie or read on...SPOILERS BELOW: On his way to the Mexican girl, much loss of life. One guy's buried alive, and later shot, in an after-thought sort of way. When the guy finally finds the Mexican girl, she turns out to be this cute, helpless teenager. He falls in love with her in a matter of seconds, and naturally proceeds to bed her. There is an age difference. Plus she looks great and clean, while he's very rough-edged and hasn't had a bath. Not for the faint-hearted.Later on the guy admits to the Mexican girl that he's the one who killed her family. She's obviously turned off (who wouldn't, especially after a night of sex), but somehow inexplicably later changes her mind and is to be seen by his side as he lay dying.I couldn't work out whether the guy had a foot (or two) hacked off by a psychopathic doctor. I couldn't be bothered to rewind and play it in slow motion. I'd rather live in this limbo where the possibility is there and the certainty isn't.On the whole, a movie to be watched high or not at all.
