Gone Are the Days

Total waste of time.. "Slow burn" is an understatement.. This movie wouldn't catch fire if you dumped gas on it and tossed a match! Simply awful!

Lance Hendrikson gives an excellent performance as a terminally ill old outlaw at the end of his life. This is a gritty, existential western about redemption. Tom Berenger is also quite excellent as the town's sheriff. Danny Trejo may have got top billing, but he is barely in this, which is understandable if you look at his filmography, he acts in 20 movies a year. Anyways, this will disappoint some viewers as this is not a shoot em' up western and Hendrikson plays up his flaws and makes his character very believable. Lance Hendrikson and Tom Berenger are truly fantastic here and are some of the more underrated actors in Hollywood that deserve more acclaim. Gone Are The Days is an interesting movie and atypical western that is well worth checking out.

This movie is a perfect example of why plot and plot development is king when creating a film. The casting and strange dialog elements that are drawbacks in this film are easily overlooked because of how great the plot is. Some of the accents and lines simply don't fit and do not feel like they belong. However the story shines through and truly comes to a great resolution. No academy award level film but definitely a decent movie to watch if you're looking for a easily digestible "western"

Tried real hard to watch it but the first 40 minutes seemed to take 4 hours. Don't waste your time.
