Plot: A violent gunslinger sees visions of Hell and decides that in order to redeem himself he’ll give his ill-gotten loot to save a beautiful nun’s orphanage. But when he is ambushed and left for dead, he sets out on a trail of vengeance.
Robert Bronzi is back in the new Western from director Michael Fredianelli, Bury ‘Em Deep. This is a low budget indie movie, but it has a compelling story and any film with Michael Paré is automatically better.
In Bury ‘Em Deep Robert Bronzi plays gunslinger Link Murdoch who gets shot and his money is stolen; he wakes up being nursed by a nun who is trying to save an orphanage from greedy bankers. Murdoch finds himself on a trail of redemption as he tries (and fails) not to kill anyone while attempting to recover the money. He is not alone in his hunt with various adversaries popping up all wanting a piece of the loot leading to a bloody showdown.
At just under 90 minute Bury ‘Em Deep should be well paced however, it does drag a little especially the scene with the trapper in the woods which seems to go on for too long; you can also tell it doesn’t have a huge budget.
On the plus side, there are several shoot-outs and the finale delivers the bullet riddled goods climaxing with a rather massive bodycount.
There is a shoot-out about half way through with a group of female robbers and they are wearing the creepiest masks I’ve seen for some time; it’s one of the most memorable sequences from the entire film.
Bronzi’s Murdoch is a man of few words, but he looks grizzled and world weary, making him well cast as the outlaw. Without spoiling anything Rosanna Wyant steals the show as Sister Marie who is one of the best characters in the movie.
Overall, Bury ‘Em Deep may not have the budget and has some pacing issues, but it’s still an entertaining Western with Robert Bronzi at his grizzled best.
