“Dead Again In Tombstone” (** out of four) was a logy Western about a fallen Mexican soldier (who else but Danny Trejo?) who returns from the dead to protect a stolen relic from falling in the hands of a ruthless gang (led by Jake Busey) and protect his daughter and at the same time saving the town in which he has found refuge. Standard issue Western full of the usual brown-and-red dust, bars, and standoffs. Neither the best nor worst of its kind but fails to bring the Western genre back from the dead again, as “Lonesome Dove” and “Unforgiven” did decades earlier. Both Trejo and Busey are good but can play these roles in their sleep by now.
