Dead Again in Tombstone

a review by Gimly

Dead in Tombstone is not a movie I ever expected to see a sequel to. And this movie is not at all the direction I would have guessed at said sequel taking. But Dead Again in Tombstone is a thing that happened, so I guess I was dead wrong. It's not quite as good as the original (and the original was not exactly a five star affair itself) . But Dead Again does prove watchable, especially in the hit-and-miss field of today's Westerns, mostly thanks to the feud between Danny Trejo and a surprisingly bearable Jake Busey. It might lean a little too hard into the "mythology" angle when compared to its predecessor, but all told, Dead Again in Tombstone's existence may have come as a surprise, but not an unpleasant one.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
