Written by Scott Edwards Looking for the once in a lifetime opportunity that will change your life forever is something that we are always searching for. If it is just winning the lotto, getting your dream job, or marrying the love of your life, there is always something out there that you know will make you happy. But how far would you go to attain this dream? If it involved something out of the ordinary to get it done, would you still go through with it, no matter the consequences? Red Cavanaugh is about to be hung by the neck until he is dead. Not believing that he will die with the blood of the devil running through his veins, he threatens his executioners, saying that he will kill each and every one of them. As the trap door is about to be released on Red, ending his life, a team of bandits hit the town freeing him and leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake. Being led by Guerrero, the Blackwater Gang is unstoppable and will do anything to take care of their own, no matter the consequences. As Red gets his senses back he tells the gang about a job he has just planned that will leave them all wealthier than their wildest dreams. Listening to the plan, the group heads to Colorado to take a look at a little town that is having mineral rights disputes and housing plenty of gold to make every man rich. Breaking into the bank and getting all of the gold is not a problem for this band of thieves but leaving town with their fortune is. As Guerrero is happy with the job, he goes to fetch Red who is drinking in the saloon. Red tells his brother that he is not ready to leave the town, in fact he wants to run it. Guerrero is not impressed with this change in the plan and tries to get the rest of the Blackwater Gang to leave with him, but the offer Red has for his group is much more promising. Turning on their leader, Guerrero is gunned down by his own men in cold blood and sent to Hell. As Lucifer starts to torture him, Guerrero comes up with a way to send more souls the Devil's way as he wants to get revenge on his old group. Lucifer reluctantly agrees to the deal, but only gives Guerrero one day to kill all of his old gang. An old western type of story with a new twist added on and for good reason. With all of the action that Dead in Tombstone provides, it might be a little bit difficult to remember that there is a reason behind all of the killing. This movie has a kind of Faust feeling behind it and I think that is why I was pleasantly happy with watching it. With some actors that you will remember from your favorites and with Danny Trejo in the lead, there is little that this movie has done wrong. Happy Viewing.
