Well what to say about Dead For A Dollar? It was for sure not Walter Hill's best movie. Sometimes it looked very cheap and not only because of the decor. I thought there were a lot of bad decisions made by the editing team. Fading out from one scene to another, it didn't look good, itlooked like a cheap soap episode, a television movie of low quality. The colour tones were also not the best choice, made it look done by amateurs again. Disappointing for Walter Hill. The cast wasn't bad, well at least not all of them. Willem Dafoe and Christoph Waltz are both actors that can do very well in such roles, and they were not really disappointing but since the quality of certain scenes was quite low their acting didn't really made the movie good. You could say we were lucky with them, with any other mediocre actor this movie would have completely plummeted. The story had potential for a good western but the execution wasn't what to expected. It's watchable but it should have been much better.
