Gunslinger Reno (Jack Kilmer, "The Nice Guys") is headed west for a quiet life with his new bride. But when their stagecoach is ambushed, he kills an outlaw in self-defense. In a nearby town, Reno learns that the man he slayed is the brother of the corrupt mayor, Bishop (Stephen Dorff, Blade), who vows revenge. After their card game turns into a bloody shootout, who will be left standing? Cole Hauser ("Yellowstone") appears as a U.S. Marshal who becomes Reno's ally in this pulse-pounding Western.

A dull and tedious bore that's high on violence, but very low on suspense, excitement and thrills.

1/5

There is unintentionally hilarious dialogue, such as a woman asking, “Is your hand okay” not even two minutes after a hole has been blown through it. No one is okay while watching this

D+

The addition of dramatic weight is laudable, but this is a “flick,” and “Dead Man’s Hand” is shockingly light on genre escapism.

Dead hands down, the single worst western I have ever endured. I watched it to the end only through morbid fascination. Anyone with anything to do with the making of this stinker should hang their heads in shame.

While this western has much Star power, it lacks script quality, and the sound (background and soundtrack) is weak, and does not match the cadence of the scenes. The more seasoned actors are only okay, but the remaining, fairly unknown ones bring nothing to the movie. The use of AI or tech-generated special effects is laughable and further diminishes the movie.

Não chega a ser um filme deplorável tem pontos fracos sim, mas eu me agradei a assistir a tensão é boa o suficiente pra me chamar a atenção e a trama é bem básica porém foi bem detalhada. Atores que fazem o melhor mas, tem muito a evoluir a direção talvez o ponto mais crítico poderia ter feito um trabalho melhor

I agree with all other reviewers, this is an awful movie, bad script, bad play, no professionalism...my God it is so sad for Cole Hauser who is an excellent actor, he certainly wanted to please a friend to accept such a disaster movie. I am not sure either that the son of Val Kilmer will be helped in his carrier after such a bad performance. The director Brian Skiba is certainly one of the the worse director ever!!! What a lack of talent and waste of time and money!

So glad no money was put out for this terrible movie. I watched due to Cole Hauser and Forest being in the movie on TUBI, but .... holy moly, terrible.

Terrible shoot-outs. Reno character was terrible, really poor acting. Had higher hopes for this film.
