“The title of this movie matches perfectly. Everything from the dialogue, script, plot, acting, and even the tone of the film is dead. From the very start, the tone and vibe of this movie feels off. What should feel like a Western movie, somehow comes off as a mixture of the modern and past, but failing as if it doesnu0026#39;t know which one itu0026#39;s trying to be. In the end, itu0026#39;s really neither, and just a movie with low budget sets that donu0026#39;t fit the feel of the movie whatsoever. Not only do the sets feel out of place, the entire feel of the movie does too. Itu0026#39;s set in a post-apocalyptic world, and yet they still have vehicles and a few other modern devices. Why is this set up like a Western then? Itu0026#39;s all over the place.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAside from the tone and feel of the movie being off, the writing is atrocious. Nick Carter should stick to writing songs, because the only thing about this movie that was good was the song they all sang together for the credits. The plot is so weak, that youu0026#39;re not even sure what it is. There is a villain, but there is so little back story on every character in this film, that itu0026#39;s nonexistent. It seems like some cheap story a five year old tried to write up for a class assignment, and even a five year old could probably write better.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBeyond that, the acting is darn right awful. Aside from small notes like AJ McLean, whose Johnny Vermillion character probably brought the most to the table, the other actors are just horrible. Even then, the only amusement he offers is his funny laugh throughout that sounds like Batmanu0026#39;s Joker has asthma. Otherwise, everyone in this movie is horrific. Facial expressions are absent, while dialogue is off and completely weak. Nothing in this movie fits the way it should.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEverything felt forced and some of the plots seemed to be Nick Carteru0026#39;s idea of wish fulfillment. Maybe he would have fulfilled his deepest desires if he could actually play a decent lead, but instead his one-liners are something left to be desired, and you WANT him to die in this movie, just like every other character. Of course, thatu0026#39;s within the first five minutes of the film, and sadly not everyone is introduced within the first five minutes, but you want them dead anyways. Theyu0026#39;re THAT bad once they come onto the screen. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, this movie isnu0026#39;t even a decent B movie. Itu0026#39;s just idiotic and a waste of time. Seriously, these boy band members should have just teamed up for the song, or went on tour together and made a band called Dead 7, because their only talent is singing.”
