A handsomely designed, occasionally funny but ultimately empty female vengeance yarn.

Boasting a script ripe with overwrought, pseudo-Deadwood dialogue, Sweetwater provides three roles enticing enough to have attracted thesps deserving of better material.

Unwatchable- one of the worst movies I've ever seen at Sundance.

The tone in Sweetwater is as heavy as that firepower, and the film can feel like stiff medicine.

Audience Reviews for Sweetwater

Fine performances by Ed Harris, Jason Isaacs & Stephen Root can't save this go-no-where story with worn-to-death tropes done way better, decades before by classic filmmakers. I wanted this to be a good film and was pulling for everyone involved. Sadly, it comes up way too short way too often in every sense of storytelling.

A typically so-called "guilty pleasure". January Jones is the by far better and more attractive "Kill Bill" Uma Thurman, but this does not save the film from being another sleazy cheap B exploitation movie. Which is well made and interesting to watch. And there are some modern elements.
