“Righteous Blood” (* out of four) was an unrighteous mess about a world-weary Western gunslinger (Michael Pare) who is on the run from the law when he saves a damsel in distress (Alexandra Amarell) from a vicious thug (Hoyt Baker) and they soon fall in love but find that walking off into the sunset together is a troubled road. Inept and inert; further sunk by weak production values and unfocused filmmaking. You keep constantly thinking back about what Sergio Leone or Sam Peckinpah may have done with this material. Even the usually dynamic Pare looks as bored as everybody else.
