Plot Holes Aplenty
28 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I saw The Desperate Riders, starring Drew Waters-Transformers:The Last Knight, Friday Night Lights_tv; Vanessa Evigan-Sand Sharks, The Young and the Restless_tv & yes, she is Greg's daughter; Victoria Pratt-Heartland_tv, Cleopatra 2525_tv; Tom Berenger-Inception, the Sniper movies and Trace Adkins-Deepwater Horizon, Mom's Night Out.

This is a low budget western that tries hard to be good but just can't cut it. There are plot holes aplenty and things that don't even make sense. Drew is a stranger that rides into town and saves a teenaged boy from a gun fight & in the process, Drew is shot-nothing serious-and he has to see the local doctor, Tom. The teen that Drew saved needs help when his mother, Victoria, and step sister,Vanessa, are kidnapped by notorious outlaw Trace. Drew finds Vanessa along the trail-she escaped from Trace-and she wants to tag along for her mother. There are a few more gun fights and Drew keeps getting wounded-never seriously though-and it becomes a running theme. I guess it's supposed to be funny, him being the hero that keeps getting shot. FYI: To give you a clue as to how bad this movie is; one of the actors I listed above is not even listed on the IMDB page for this film-he is probably pretty happy about that.

It's rated PG-13 for violence and sexual content-no nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 50 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD or rent either. If you really want to see it, wait until it's on tv.
