They were pretty smart with this movie, releasing it only a short time after red dead:Redemption every player of that game wanted to see this movie, in the same western setting. Honestly, i was one of them. After seeing the trailers i couldn't wait too see a bad ass cowboy with turrets on his horse and megan fox being the usually megan fox.

The beginning wasn't that bad, a decent introduction of the characters and how the main characters got his trademark face injury, im sorry to say it went downhill from there. The storyline was pretty much non existent, aside from the main character wanting revenge. The antagonist is barley introduced and the viewer has no idea why hes even considered bad until he happens upon a giant cannon ship with giant yellow balls that can destroy a damn continent, so dubbed "The Continent Destroyer" by me and my friends.

We generally use this term to describe any movie that "has little to no plot-line" or uses any instance of deus ex machina. Which is exactly what this movie did. Without any explanation on how the weapon came to be, why he found it, and what the hell those giant balls are, and hell..it doesn't even say WHY he wants to destroy the damn country, but he manages to get this super weapon to the sea and beings destroying Washington D.C one massive yellow ball at a time.

This movie could have been much better, and im sorry i wasted my money on it, but it gave me and my friends to laugh about, and a term that we use to this day.
