West of Hell (2018)
4/10
Attempt at morality play falls flat
21 April 2020
Who is redeemable? Set on a train during the Wild West era (I'm assuming), passengers are unwittingly on a ride with the devil to see about their souls. Each character has a hidden secret worthy of eternal flames, so the devil offers a deal to each one. Tired production derails this train that was barely moving forward given the passable but lackluster performances. Oh, and the stories don't really make much sense or at least what is depicted isn't enough for us to care about the characters. Mildly interesting idea (cowboy train to hell) that can't live up to the concept by low production that then is left solely to the actors to try and make something out of the 2 dimensional characters. (And that is generous as the "secret" hidden by each character is the only reason for their minuscule depth.) Don't be fooled by Tony Todd or Lance Henriksen in the cast; this was a chosen role for the paycheck only.
