Disappointing western pastiche/homage from Australia. Leone’s films spring to mind but not in terms of quality. Just in case you’re in any doubt as to its antecedents, a faux Morricone soundtrack pounds out a reminder.

"Red Hill" looks like a Western version of Assault on Precinct 13 but instead of a dozen men attacking a police station, there's a single man attacking a town taking his revenge on a dozen men.

There aren't many slow moments in "Red Hill", but even during those moments, there's anything might happen or simply adding more info to the storyline. One thing that I like to see in every movie (and was present in this one), is the bad guy is actually capable of missing the targets as a human being and the main character gets a lot of …
