"Gott in Himmel" as our German friends might say - what on earth is Guy Pearce doing is this garbage. After the typical incident that went wrong from his past, he has been farmed out to be marshal of a small town where nothing ever happens. Well, not until a gang of bikers arrive intent on robbing the bank and the supplying armoured car. Can he and his doughty sidekick "Matt" (Michael Sirow) thwart their evil plans....? Oh, and I forgot to say - the marshal doesn't like to use a gun! What follows is 90 minutes of nonsense with a slightly comical hill-billy type of soundtrack. It looks like a college project. The dialogue is just daft; the gang of bikers are about as menacing as yesterday's pizza and the ending seems shot from single camera perspective suggesting the person being shot at wasn't actually on the set at the same time as his intended victim. Finally we have the arrival of a woman on an horse! The film does puzzle - did the star owe director York Alec Shackleton a favour - and if so, just how big a favour? It must have been colossal!

Jim Dillon (Guy Pearce) is a marshal in a small town and refuses to carry a gun since a tragic shooting when he was a Texas Ranger. When a group of outlaw bikers pull into his town and start a heist, he must pick up a gun again and stop them.

Guy Pearce was the only thing that made this film watchable for me. Like many other people have said, I have no idea how they managed to get him to agree to be in this movie. He did the best he could with what he was give. The dialogue was woeful. Kelly Greyson is not a great female lead and as soon she started fighting that biker it became laughable and I knew what kind of film I was about to watch. As much as I like Barbie Blank, she is attractive and I liked her in WWE, her acting is pretty bad in this movie. The lead villain played by Devon Sawa was decent at best. The character developments didn't exist.

This is definitely a B movie that I can admit sometimes having some guilty pleasures with movies like these, however this was just plain awful. The camera work is ok at times but nothing that will blow you away. The action scenes are boring and poorly done.

The premise of a marshal refusing to carry a firearm but having to overcome that was certainly an interesting concept that just became really dull and didn't mount to much. The plot of Disturbing the Peace is a very basic one, but if you are looking for a better film where a sheriff protects a town from outlaws, go watch The Last Stand with Arnold Schwarzenegger, it is much better executed. 3/10.
