“The Dalton Gang” (*1/2 out of four) was a threadbare Western about the title Dalton brothers (Jerry Gresser, Russell Dobson, and Alan Cope II) who try to avenge the death of their other brother (Ryan Swank) by getting involved in law enforcement but when they get suddenly cheated by the law they turn to robbery and any other crime they can think of to attempt to get even and settle the score and make names for themselves. Lackluster movie goes down the same standard trail of most Westerns but is really eclipsed by shoddy production values. Gunfights and saloon standoffs that look as if they were shot in someone’s backyard just ain’t all that convincing. Watch “Lonesome Dove” re-runs instead.
