In the tradition of classic westerns, a narrator sets up the story of a lone gunslinger who walks into a saloon. However, the people in this saloon can hear the narrator and the narrator may just be a little bit bloodthirsty.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
thomasjay-52277 A fantastic post modern premise this short is hilarious and masterfully crafted. Quick and straight to the point this surprisingly action packed quickie has the potential for a full scale film and I highly recommend a watch
mihai_chindris I think this is the first short with narration that I see. Quite nice. The characters are goofy and the actors play the roles pretty good. I like the way the so-called narrator tries to spice up the scene and make each kill one another. It was funny. A short western worth remembering.
MrGKB ...almost as dusty as the streets it walked in from, but it told it with style and impeccable craftsmanship."Did not!"Oh, yes, it did. And it made its viewers smile, and occasionally laugh."It didn't!"Did, too. Plus an occasional guffaw."Nobody guffaws any more. You don't know what you're talking about!"Perhaps not. Nonetheless, you'll be doing yourself a favor by seeking it out on YouTube---"That's a purloined copy!"Fine. Go look for it on Vimeo, then. You won't be sorry. It truly is worth the effort. Don't take my voice-over for it; see for yourself.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Gunfighter" is a 9-minute award-winning western comedy short film from last year. The title character steps into a bar and we hear the narrator telling us what is happening. However, he is not only telling us as the people inside the western bar can also hear what he says. So we find out pretty much for the rest of the movie who did it with whom and in the end, it seems everybody is angry at everybody because they have been sleeping with each other's sisters, wives and sheep. The narrator is Nick Offerman, so this may be a particularly interesting watch for fans of "Parks & Recreation". I do not know any of the actors in here, which may have hurt my viewing experience a bit as it was simply too fast to know who is who. However, it was a decent watch nonetheless and even if it was the same joke for the entire film, it was not yet at a point where it had dragged. Maybe this could have been the case at the 15-minute mark. Anyway, the director here is Eric Kissack, a prolific editor, for example on Sacha Baron Cohen's works. Good little movie and I recommend it.
