“Copper Bill” (*1/2 out of four) was a lugubrious action melodrama about two thieves (Thom Hallum and Dustin Rhodes) who attempt to steal $80 million in hidden drug money from the title Texas ranch but are soon encumbered by members of the Cowboy Mafia (Aaron Noack, Arthur RedCloud, and others) who want it back at all costs which leads to an all-out bloody war. Not all that different if you think about it than the Coen Bros.’ “No Country For Old Men” except this one is dry and plodding and has little dramatic payoff. Former pro-wrestler Rhodes is adequate in the lead but more movies like this could be the real golddust finisher for his acting career.
