Wasn't expecting Buster Keaton to try his hand at suicide. Starts out surprisingly dark but ends up featuring more of Keaton's attempts at heroics. Nothing special, but enjoyable enough.

Loses steam at times, but it's pretty funny.

Hard luck indeed. He can't even kill himself without blowing it somehow. Buster Keaten fare for the true fan, but nothing incredible here.

it's got a couple laughs here and there, but it's more unfunny than funny. it gets a few extra points for being neither funny nor boring, and has the benefit of being a two-reeler so it doesn't overstay it's welcome.

Buster is very unlucky in this short film. He looses everything he has, and tries (unlucky and funny) to kill himself. With some freak chance he is hired to hunt down some animal for zoo, and few gags inwolving him fishing and hunting are shown. In third part he meets a bandit, and tries to save a pretty girl from him. Plot is very loose, but i liked a few gags. Also i think this short offers couple original filming and editing details never used by Buster before.

This one wasn't really doing it for me. Even at 20 minutes it seemed too slow and long for its own good, and it's not incredibly funny. The exception is the long-lost finale, which is hilarious.

Funny little Keaton short with no real plot to speak of, just loosely related gags culminating in the one at the end that got him the most laughs in his career and was previously lost to the world.
