Five Guns West (1955)
Roger Corman directs this western staring John Lund and Dorothy Malone. At the end of the American Civil War the South is so short of men it is releasing people from jail and sending them off on missions such as this one to stop a top Southern spy defecting to the North.
There is a decent idea for a film in here but unfortunately this is a pretty terrible effort with large parts of the film where nothing much happens, as well as poor dialogue and acting. It should be noted that this was only Corman's second film and does look like it was knocked out on a small budget. What is interesting about Corman is that he went on to give breaks to film makers such as James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese which is not a bad trio to have discovered!
2/5 not worth watching.
