Granted, when I sat down to watch the 2022 Western movie "No Name and Dynamite" from writers Clint Lilley, Errol Sack and Steven Shaffer, I wasn't really expecting a whole lot. But since I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, I opted to give the movie a fair chance, and thus I sat down to watch it.

The storyline told in "No Name and Dynamite" was a bit all over the place, and it wasn't really all that entertaining. Sure, the movie is watchable for a single viewing, but that was about it. Personally, I found the storyline to bit rather skittish and sort of being all over the place. It felt like director Errol Sack was just making it up as they were filming each scene.

The character gallery in "No Name and Dynamite" was interesting enough, I will say that much. However, while the characters definitely had some appeal and were nicely portrayed, the storyline was just working against them.

It was nice, however, to actually see a Western movie that had an Asian character as one of the lead characters, and they had opted to cast Rich Ting nicely for the role of Dynamite Davenport. And Chris Northup was also nicely enough cast for the role of No Name - yeah, that was how inventive the writing was in the movie. The movie also had the likes of familiar faces of Patrick Gorman, Bonnie Morgan and Vernon Wells on the cast list, in bigger or smaller parts.

For a Western movie then "No Name and Dynamite" wasn't really all that outstanding. Sure, it can be watched, just don't get your hopes or expectations up too high.

My rating of "No Name and Dynamite" lands on a four out of ten stars.

This has to have been one of the most confusing experiences of my recent life. I know it's supposed to be some kind of Western, but not really. It's got no plot. It makes no sense. It's not funny. It's not arty.

It killed a number of my brain cells and I don't think Amazon will give me $5 back for what I wasted on it.

This is a "western" that takes place in 1865 and while the setting looks like it is out west, it includes the recently escaped John Wilkes Booth (Eli Cirino). The tale focuses on two Bounty Hunters straight out of a spaghetti western. For those who ache to see another "Trinity" film, this is done in a similar style with a little less slapstick, but a whole lot of speech anachronisms from Rasputin to politically correct language. Natalie Burn adds a bit of the macabre to the feature. Fun film. Not to be taken seriously.
