Dev (Joe Cornet) and Jonas (Curt Lambert) have been crossing the Old
West together for 20+ years, always hoping to eventually strike it big and
against hope assuming the big payday is always around the next corner,
drifting from job to job doing so, even if these jobs aren't all strictly
according to law - and all the while, they just hope to finally make
enough to be able to settle down with their respective sweethearts (Vitta
Quinn, Kelsey Bohlen). This time around, they're working for mine owner
McDonald (Buddy Clements), who has hired them to steal money that he
claims is rightfully his from a bank in a two horse town - a cake walk as
he puts it. At first it really looks that way, the bank is hardly guarded,
the tellers don't put up any resistance, and Dev and Jonas get out with
the money - when they're greeted by gunfire, as it seems a gang called the
Regulators, run by McDonald's chief rival Huntington (Ernie Ventry), has
grown wise to the plans to rob the bank, and whether he's in the right or
wrong objectively, Huntington just can't let that happen ...
Incident at Guilt Ridge sure is a fun western, and one
that might also appeal to people not into westerns, inasmuch as it,
without trying to be post-modernist or revisionist, takes a genre formula
apart and doesn't go for the epic route but allows what's usually just a
setpiece in other movies of its ilk to be the centerpiece, the plot
basically. And while the action is very well put together in this one,
it's really the key characters that make the film, basically a bickering
and odd couple past their prime who through all the excitement actually
follow very mundane dreams - and that works to keep things ineresting even
when no shots are fired. And Joe Cornet and Curt Lambert embody these
characters very well to be sure, to make this one really entertaining to
watch.
