“Above Snakes” (** out of four) was an overly flat Western about a gunslinger (Brandon Baker) who returns home from prison seeking revenge on the judge (Jeffrey Smith) who sentenced him and sets out to kidnap his daughter (Shannon Sinclear) but finds that this is more morally and personally complex than he anticipated. Potentially juicy storyline of vengeance and moral ambiguity is constricted by mediocre production values and stilted direction. Not the worst of its kind but not memorable either.
