No Name on the Bullet

1959 · 77 min

A quiet, brooding western that simmers with paranoia and moral unease, less about gunfights than the fear a single stranger brings.

Tagline: Twenty-four "victims" had died before his lightning draw...until he came to the quiet town that had marked him for death!
Overview: When hired killer John Gant rides into Lordsburg, the town's folk become paranoid as each leading citizen has enemies capable of using the services of a professional killer for personal revenge.
How it feels: Melancholic, tense, dark and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Guilt, morality, death, fate
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
