Villainous varmints with smoking six-shooters proliferate in 'Badlands' writer & director Justin Lee's lame horse opera 'Apache Junction' (*1/2 out of ****), starring Stuart Townsend, Scout Taylor Compton, Thomas Jane, and Trace Atkins. Clocking in at 94 lackluster minutes, this uneven, R-rated, saddle-sore sagebrusher follows a clueless tenderfoot newspaper reporter who blunders into a notorious Arizona outlaw haven. Despite all warnings to the contrary, our intrepid heroine has come to this outlaw asylum to pen an expose for her San Francisco based newspaper about its dastardly denizens.
