“Gunfight At Rio Bravo” (*1/2 out of four) was a slipshod Western melodrama about a Russian gunslinger (Alexander Nevsky) who attempts to help a marshal (Oliver Gruner) and a sheriff (Joe Cornet who also directed) against a vicious outlaw gang (led by Matthias Hues) when they invade and threaten to take over their small East Texas town. Cheaply done Western covers the usual bases (saloon fights, gun standoffs, etc.) without much flair or fire. Title is an obvious hybrid of classics “Gunfight At O.K. Corral” and “Rio Bravo” but this still mostly fires all blanks.
