Bounty hunters, an outlaw on the run, and gold buried in the hills — "No Name and Dynamite Davenport" plays its Western tropes with a wink and a body count.
What is No Name And Dynamite Davenport about?
Two bounty hunters known only as No Name and Dynamite Davenport shoot, scheme, and bicker their way across a lawless frontier where the difference between hero and villain barely holds. The pair chase rewards wherever they can find them, racking up enemies faster than friends, while the outlaw John Wilkes Booth stays one step ahead of capture and a stash of gold hidden in the hills raises the stakes for everyone chasing it. The 2022 Western leans into genre staples — shootouts, double-crosses, a landscape that swallows people whole — while keeping its two bounty hunters at the center of every scene. It is a film built for viewers who want gunfights and grit over historical nuance, moving fast between confrontations rather than lingering on backstory.
About the cast
Vernon Wells and Rich Ting anchor the film in the title roles, with Thomas Rosales Jr., Mark Krenik, Walter Scott, Esteban Cueto, Jawed El Berni, and Natalie Burn filling out a large supporting cast of outlaws, lawmen, and everyone caught between them. The size of the ensemble reflects a Western built around constant movement across a crowded frontier rather than a tight two- or three-hander.
Context & significance
Directed by Errol Sack and released in 2022, "No Name and Dynamite Davenport" sits squarely in the modern low-budget Western revival, a genre that has found a steady audience by leaning into familiar iconography — dusty towns, hidden gold, bounty hunters who trust no one, not even each other. Setting the story around the real outlaw John Wilkes Booth on the run gives the plot a loose historical hook without asking the film to function as history; the gold-in-the-hills subplot supplies the kind of goal that keeps every character's motives simple and their guns drawn. Westerns at this scale tend to succeed by knowing exactly what they are, and this one commits fully to shootouts and swagger over anything more restrained.
