`The Desperate Riders` movie review: Poor writing, mediocre acting, and bland direction make this genre offering rather unpalatable

A still from The Desperate Riders
Scripted by Lee Martin and directed by Michael Feifer this attempted Western has little to offer other than generics for the genre fans.
The story is rudimentary - seems like a fake reason to get the actors into Western gear of a time and place long forgotten. Don’t know what Tom Berenger was thinking when he took this role on - of a Dentist (in a town where there are no other Doctors), who has to stand in as a general physician and take care of those injured in pointless shoot-outs. The viewer might still have some interest in watching a western but this one is not going to get them interested.
