'The Desperate Riders' movie review: Poor writing, mediocre acting, and bland direction make this genre offering rather unpalatable

A still from The Desperate Riders
Film: The Desperate Riders ( Lionsgate Play release)
Cast: Drew Waters, Vanessa Evigan, Sam Ashby, Tom Berenger, Victoria Pratt
Director: Michael Feifer
Rating: 1.5/5
Runtime: 90 mins
Scripted by Lee Martin and directed by Michael Feifer this attempted Western has little to offer other than generics for the genre fans.
The story is rudimentary - seems like a fake reason to get the actors into Western gear of a time and place long forgotten. Don’t know what Tom Berenger was thinking when he took this role on - of a Dentist (in a town where there are no other Doctors), who has to stand in as a general physician and take care of those injured in pointless shoot-outs. The viewer might still have some interest in watching a western but this one is not going to get them interested.
