This feels like an Italian film, but I'm not for sure on that as there is remarkably little information about this movie online. It's a boobs, gore and guns exploration film (mostly the former). Set in the old west, near Mexico, the lead character is a Mexican stable hand named Carlos, who doesn't say much. After a prolog where he attempts and fails to stop a rape, Carlos ends up employed at the same ranch as the rapists. The ranch owner is an asshole, and his wife is trying to sleep with all the stable hands, except for Carlos as he (as this movie keeps reminding us) is Mexican. The boss fires Carlos as he thinks he has the hots for his Mrs. Shortly after being fired Carlos kidnaps the rancher's wife while she is out horseback riding. He ties her up and keeps her in a abandoned cabin. He explains that he intends to use her as bait, as he has been systemically hunting down and murdering the men who raped his sister when he was a kid, with the ranch owner being the last living participant in that childhood shattering event. This movie is slow and really takes its time with the nude scenes, every woman in this movie you end up seeing nude, often more than once. Far duller than it should be. * 

Nightwatch (1997)

Ewan McGregor is in his senior year at a California law school. He gets a job as a night watchman at a medical building that houses the local morgue (I hesitate to call it a hospital because there are no overnight patients). McGregor took the job because it would give him the opportunity to study, however he soon starts having weird experiences, including possible hallucinations. Nick Nolte is the chief investigator on a series of prostitute murders; he and McGregor strike up a friendship after one of the murder victims is brought in late at night. Also going on in McGregor's life is a somewhat strained relationship with his girlfriend Patrica Arquette, who comes from money, and an increasing odd one with his best friend Josh Brolin, who he discovers (despite dating Lauren Graham) is seeing prostitutes and has sexual kinks related to power imbalances. Brad Dourif and John C. Reilly also have small rolls. 

A remake of a hopefully better Danish film, 'Nightwatch' is going for a Stephen King vibe, but its lesser King, a stinker. This is a suspense movie with little suspense, a thriller with few thrills, a character piece with flat characters. It does a decent job at atmosphere, and there are pieces of a good film here, but the movie feels tossed together and disjointed. A talent bomb. *1/2
