Again?!?

Dead Again in Tombstone (2017) stars Danny Trejo. That's really all we needed.

Of course, we had seen the original Dead in Tombstone. Synopsis: Western badguy Danny Trejo gets killed and makes deal with devil. He will deliver other badguys to hell before their time, in return for being sent back to Earth. In this sequel, he is still alive, still killing badguys, but the devil is asking for more deliveries.

Meanwhile, Jake Busey as a Confederate veteran with a gang of other soldiers are looking for a mystical book to cure Busey's consumption (?) and generally allow them to take over the world. That book is being guarded by ... Trejo's family, something nobody saw fit to tell him. He looks up his mother and daughter - Michelle Rios and Alysa Rotaru - who don't much look like him.

So, while the last one had a nice clean spaghetti-Western revenge plot, here it is family-in-peril. And I just don't feel like Trejo's character should even have a family. Certainly, he shouldn't have a family secret, and if he has to, it shouldn't be about cosmic mysticism. Although I guess it answers why the devil was willing to give him a deal.

Still, we enjoyed seeing Trejo be a bad ass. Likewise Rotaru as his daughter, not taking any from anyone.

In conclusion, Mickey Rourke did not come back to play the devil.
