I’m a little late to the party with my review of Alexander Nevsky’s first foray into the western genre with Gunfight at Rio Bravo but it’s finally here and with the film readying a UK release, well then, I’m early in that regard. The former 3X Mr. Universe turned action star and filmmaker has issued several indie action films to date but with his first six-barrel blazing western, Nevsky has finally found his signature character and a potential franchise in the making. Check out what I have to say about the movie that boasts a great 90’s DTV action cast in Olivier Gruner and Matthias Hues below!
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: Three-time Mr. Universe Alexander Nevsky (Black Rose)joins action star Olivier Gruner (Nemesis) in a thrilling Western adventure from director Joe Cornet (A Prayer For The Damned).
When mysterious Russian gunslinger Ivan Turchin (Nevsky) rides into a small Texas town, he runs afoul of a bloodthirsty outlaw gang known as The Hellhounds. Outmanned and outgunned, the town must put their trust in Turchin to protect them from annihilation at the hands of the bandits. The gunslinger finds allies in the form of Marshal Austin Carter (Gruner) and Sheriff Vernon Kelly (Cornet), and together the three must make a desperate stand against impossible and violent odds.
VERDICT:
Aside from the usual flaws that accompany lower budgeted indie action fare, Gunfight at Rio Bravo is a fast moving, rip roaring, gun-slinging western with Nevsky finally finding his signature character and a potential franchise in the making.
