Brian Skiba is a filmmaker who works fast and cheap. He’s been burning through productions for the last five years, focusing on VOD/streaming titles that are loaded with producers and typically save enough money to purchase the services of one or two well-known actors. “Gunslingers” follows this tradition, returning Skiba to the cowboy way after 2023’s dismal “Dead Man’s Hand,” scripting a western about violence in a town full of repentant outlaws. There’s not a terrible idea in play here, but Skiba isn’t about to take his time in this endeavor, once again barreling through a B-movie with a lukewarm cast and no real interest in style and pacing. “Gunslingers” does have Nicolas Cage (the luxuriously compensated thespian of the effort), and he’s extremely Cage-y in the picture, becoming a sole source of entertainment and laughs (both intentional and unintentional) in the offering.
