Dead Again in Tombstone

Dead in Tombstone is not a movie I ever expected to see a sequel to. And this movie is not at all the direction I would have guessed at said sequel taking. But Dead Again in Tombstone is a thing that happened, so I guess I was dead wrong. It's not quite as good as the original (and the original was not exactly a five star affair itself) . But Dead Again does prove watchable, especially in the hit-and-miss field of today's Westerns, mostly thanks to the feud between Danny Trejo and a surprisingly bearable Jake Busey. It might lean a little too hard into the "mythology" angle when compared to its predecessor, but all told, Dead Again in Tombstone's existence may have come as a surprise, but not an unpleasant one.

_Final rating:½ ...

The first movie, Dead in Tombstone, was fairly okay. Not great but okay. This movie, the second instalment, was a bit of a disappointment though. The general idea is a good one. At least it is one I would generally have liked. However, it is really poorly implemented.

Danny is supposed to be the devils servant imbued with supernatural powers and supposed to kick some serious ass. You know, a bit like Ghost Rider in the old west. Unfortunately he is nothing but. Most of the time he is roaming around sulking and trying to patch things up with his daughter.

He is really not showing much in terms of terrifying presence or supernatural powers. Whenever he springs into action he is just blundering in shooting at everything that moves and usuall...

The sequel died in Tombstone.

If the first film already seemed quite cheap and didn't bet so much on quality, this film is even worse and more miserable. They are both niche films, oriented to satisfy a certain part of the public that looks for raw action films, and not that elegant and classic cinema that almost everyone likes. However, I don't know if this was even able to satisfy the audience for which it was intended.

The problems start with the script, miserably written, and the poor and slick conception of the characters. After abandoning the service of the Devil, Guerrero (in essence he is a recycling of the Ghost Rider, minus the flames and bones) remains immortal and doing justice around. But in this film he'll have to go...
