“Once Upon A Time In Deadwood” (** out of four) was a logy Western about an elderly gunslinger (Robert Bronzi) who is fed a slow-acting poison by a woman (Lauren Compton) desperate to have him rescue her sister from a gang of hoodlums (led by Michael Pare) or else he won’t get the antidote that will save his life and things start to get really ugly in the old West. Plenty of saloons, shootouts, and standoffs in this familiar trail through Western territory. Bronzi’s absolutely eerie resemblance to Charles Bronson makes this worth looking at for at least a few minutes but Pare is wasted as the main villain.
