Counting Bullets

I generally don't select movies with such low ratings, but I was at someone else's house who likes westerns and wanted to see a free movie. I gamely sat through this truly terrible movie to be polite, thank goodness it only ran 73 minutes. The acting was truly atrocious, the action scenes were cringeworthy, and the plot was just plain stupid. This seemed like a college film project tbh. The older lieutenant came the closest to actual acting. I can't decide if the younger lieutenant, the injured soldier, or the scout was the worst. Really a toss up. This is easily THE WORST movie I have ever suffered through. And I am 53 with many movies under my belt. Do not subject yourself to this movie. You have been warned. The 10 ratings are fake.

I like Westerns of the 1940s-1970s and thought that "Counting Bullets" compared well with them. I assume that most of those involved were amateurs, and if so then theirs was a commendable effort. Another reviewer has mentioned the curiosity of the patrol not retrieving the weapons of ammunition of the killed Comancheros, and nor did it seem to take much in the way of supplies. And the two meaningful conversations between beleaguered members of the patrol went on a bit. Good photography. Easily worth a six, I've given it seven.

Wow, this movie was horrible, at first I thought it was a farce, like a mock comedy western, but it was quickly apparent that not much time was taken into the making of this film. The actors are horrible, the physical acting is unbearable to watch and cringeworthy. The actors characters/lines are barely put together and lack depth. Where's the action?

There's several things I enjoyed about Counting Bullets. Original formula, good acting and fantastic scenery. My favorite part was the soundtrack. It felt like a cross between Elmer Bernstein and Spaghetti Westerns while still being original.
