Red Pierre has come up from the mountains of a Mexican Monastery to avenge his dying father, who had been fatally wounded by the outlaw, Bob McGurk. A man the locals say cannot be beaten to the draw.But before Pierre can meet the invincible gunman, he's picked up by Jim Boone and his gang, the Cut-Throats. Despite the protests of the other outlaws, Boone makes Pierre a member of his gang, a replacement for his dead son. And so Pierre rides with the wild marauders, all skilled gunfighters, including Boone's wild young daughter, Jack. At last the scene is set for the showdown between Pierre and McGurk, but even when it takes place and a wounded McGurk leaves the range, the blood feud is not been settled. One of them still has to be killed. Presented as a graphic homage to the classic Spaghetti Westerns, SHOOT FIRST AND PRAY YOU LIVE is a tale of love and Revenge

While I enjoyed the film, I had some serious issues. They used a large number of devices to present the story, but the shear number interrupted the continuity of the film. I felt like it was made by someone with a new camera and he wanted to try out all of the new features in one film. The time distortion was presented through a story teller, with text on the screen, with younger versions of the characters, with a rewind, with a flashback, and with a cartoon. Any one of these devices would have worked well, but the inconsistent use of them was confusing and disorienting. The split screen worked well, except for the times where they had the same scene on both splits. It was also disorienting in the same way breaking the 180 degree line is.
