"Gott in Himmel" as our German friends might say - what on earth is Guy Pearce doing is this garbage. After the typical incident that went wrong from his past, he has been farmed out to be marshal of a small town where nothing ever happens. Well, not until a gang of bikers arrive intent on robbing the bank and the supplying armoured car. Can he and his doughty sidekick "Matt" (Michael Sirow) thwart their evil plans....? Oh, and I forgot to say - the marshal doesn't like to use a gun! What follows is 90 minutes of nonsense with a slightly comical hill-billy type of soundtrack. It looks like a college project. The dialogue is just daft; the gang of bikers are about as menacing as yesterday's pizza and the ending seems shot from single camera perspective suggesting the person being shot at wasn't actually on the set at the same time as his intended victim. Finally we have the arrival of a woman on an horse! The film does puzzle - did the star owe director York Alec Shackleton a favour - and if so, just how big a favour? It must have been colossal!
