What the hell did I just watch?
Added 8/18/2009
I love western movies. But this.....forget it. I don't understand how Val Kilmer got involved in this movie. It made no sense at all. It was stupid and rediculous. Some of the actors were hard to understand. Val Kilmer's charactor was easier to understand; and he was DEAD! I would never compare this movie to any of Clint Eastwood's westerns. MONEY WASTED!!

I'm not even going to dignify this movie with a full review.
Simply put: HORRIBLE.

2 hours of watching a corpse that's all that Kilmer does in this entire movie is lay on the ground. He doesn't utter one word through the whole movie..But, they got to put his name and face on the cover so it would sell my dog could have played this part just as well probably for a lot less money.

OMG!!! WTF?!!
Added 2/17/2009
This movie is absolute garbage. I bought this movie while on deployment out of sheer boredom and was pissed off not even halfway thru the movie. They put Val Kilmers face on the movie only so you will be curious enough to buy it. Al Val Kilmer does in the movie is play being a dead guy, WOW!!! Now on to the other garbage about the movie.
The props in the movie look like they went to Home friggin Depot and bought a storage shed and put it in a remote location. I mean the props in the movie are so bad that at one point you see fly paper hanging over the bar in one scene (um correct me if Im wrong but I dont think fly paper even existed back then) lol, wtf?
Now on to the acting..OMFG they should have done it old school kung fu movie style and dubbed voices over the actors because at times you cant understand their version on the english language.
I cant really review the rest of the movie as I couldnt bear to complete watching it because what I saw for 30 mins was so terrible. I really want to know did Val Kilmer lose a bet with someone to have had a role in that movie (as a previous reviewer wrote) or were the guys in the movies friends of his and he was trying to do them a favor? Well regardless if I EVER come across Mr. Kilmer Im sure gonna ask for my $19.95 back. To the other reviewers on here who gave 5 stars either they were friends of the people who made the movie, high on something they smoked when they wrote the review, paid to write a review, or all three.
Save your money cuz and as far as the star ratings on here if it was possible to give this movie negative star ratings that reach off to the left side it wouldve been "-5"

Dead Man's Bounty is not your typical western but has elements typical of westerns
Added 12/27/2008
Dead Man's Bounty (originally called Summer Love) is an artistic Western by Polish director/writer/producer Piotr Uklanski. This movie has a lot of Polish actors but is spoken in English. Quite a few of the characters speak with accent, which might seem annoying to some (I had trouble understanding what the Sheriff was saying most of the time). The story can be summarized as the stranger brings a dead man into town expecting to collect the bounty for him. Instead of a reward, the town folks start trouble and a gunfight with the stranger, and then pursue him.
No one is called by name in this story. The Sheriff is played by Boguslaw Linda. Linda is one of Poland's most famous contemporary actors and has worked with Poland's most renowned directors including Andrzej Wajda, Andrzej Zulawski and Jerzy Kawalerowicz. Katarzyna Figura, one of Poland's most known actresses, plays the Woman. Czech actor Karel Roden plays the Stranger. Val Kilmer plays the Dead Man. Unquestionably, Kilmer plays an unusual role and probably one that isn't as easy as it sounds (try not breathing or blinking).
Dead Man's Bounty is not your typical western but has elements typical of westerns. It captures a bit of grossness - we are not spared in how dirty and bloody they get and can only be thankful that we can't smell them. The film is artistic in its presentation and if one took just about any single shot from the movie, it may even pass off as art in itself. Now I admit a few parts are weird and may be a turn off for some but this just may be the artistic side of the film.
This movie has the tagline of being "The First Polish Western." Although Dead Man's Bounty isn't spoken in Polish, I can agree with the tagline to some degree. A few years ago I made humorous list of statements called "you might be watching a Polish film if..." which had common things in Polish movies. Dead Man's Bounty, amazingly, has four out of four of them! I don't want to give away too much of the story so I will spare you the details on what they are.
