Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs (2015) (USA)

aka Jurassic Hunters

⭐️⭐️⭐️


Tracking down some of that sweet sweet Iridium, careless miners blast their way into a subterranean cavern located in beautiful Montana. Instead of a cache of the rare element, they find a prehistoric threat that by all scientific standards should not exist. But don’t tell the greedy mine owner (Vernon Wells, at his scuzzy best) that the prehistoric nightmare located under the mountains is gonna get in the way of his plans. A real shitstorm brews when the dinosaurs escape the mine and attack the town of Livingston, MT. An ex rodeo star comes back into town lookin’ for work and gets placed right in the middle of the prehistoric nightmare scenario the miners have caused and soon he has to buck up and play hero to save his ex (much to the chagrin of her sheriff boyfriend) from a pack of hungry velociraptors. Further digging unleashes a tyrannosaurus because why wouldn’t it. There’s a small group of survivors including the head of the old crew who saw the raptors attack but has had a hard time convincing anyone he’s not insane (luckily, when all hell breaks loose it no longer matters), the mine owner, his project head/patsy, the sheriff, some blonde chick and other disposable meat. There’s also an old drunk (naturally, played by Eric Roberts) who happens to be the rodeo star’s pa. You know the cgi beasties and undeserved melodrama to expect in a flick like this, luckily shit special effects are surrounded by a cast taking it seriously (well, as serious as their paychecks would necessitate) and a premise that’s just a bit of fun. No lying in that title either… although, I was hoping old west but we can’t always get what we want… but there was a triceratops, so I guess I’ll call it a wash.
