Quick and the Dead
 
   

Product Description

 
Sharon Stone stars as Ellen, a beautiful gunslinger with a cloudy past. She arrives in the town of Redemption with a bone to pick, namely with one John Herod (Gene Hackman, BONNIE AND CLYDE, THE ROYAL TENNENBAUMS), with whom she shares a shady history. Ellen signs up for the annual quick-draw contest, which awards $230,000 to the winner, but her real motivation is revenge. Raimi incorporates beautiful photography and camerawork, and surprising new twists to the familiar spaghetti Western tropes, breathing new life into the genre.

Sam Raimi's delicious Western-Movie-Cliché Soup!

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: Regardless, this movie is grade-A prime fun for hardcore Western freaks, fans of way macho dialogue or those of us who just love them groovy camera tricks.
Review: I hate when movie critics defend movies they enjoy by dengrating the intelligence or cinematic knowledge of those people who disagree with them. Having said that, I feel that Sam Raimi's 'The Quick and the Dead' is an unjustly underrated...

The Quick and The Dead

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2000
Review: Borrowing a page from Louis L? Amour?s book, the title of this 1994 western refers to the two types of gunfighters in the world.

Basically, you can either be fast on the draw, or you can go join the Grand Rodeo in the Sky.

Another Lone Gunslinger Tale ? with a Twist

Date of Review:  Apr 19, 2006
The Bottom Line: Nice modern twist on an old cliched western myth, coupled with good acting, make this a fun watch.
Review:

Well, the film, indeed, had more than a...
