325. Dead in Tombstone (2013)

August 13, 2014

I had no expectations for 'Dead in Tombstone' aside from an ineluctable silliness that did not disappoint. Danny Trejo starred as the leader of a gang of bank robbing thugs in the old west that lived by a code and vowed never to kill anyone unnecessarily. After a prosperous robbery, Trejo's bandits killed the local sheriff, turned mutinous and killed Trejo. Sent to hell to be tortured for eternity by Lucifer himself, Trejo made a deal with the devil to let him go free if he could kill the real bad guys and send their souls to hell for Lucifer to feed on. The rest of the film was basically Trejo being his own undead avenger and dispatching his former comrades in full bloody detail. It had the effects you'd expect from a direct-to-video action flick, but thanks to Trejo it felt like it had a little more heart than average. So for that, I will say I recommend it, but you definitely have to be in the mood for something like this.
