Plot: Director Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead) tries gamely to recapture the exotic mysteries of spaghetti Westerns in this stylish but empty film, which stars Sharon Stone as a stranger who comes to the t...( read more read more... )own of Redemption in time for an annual shooting contest. Her real motivations for being there are the stuff that might have found their way into a film by Sergio Leone--in fact, much of this film is a pastiche of Leone's greatest hits, including A Fistful of Dollars and Once upon a Time in America--but one can't quite believe Stone in the role. Gene Hackman gives a predictably solid performance as the town tyrant, and Leonardo DiCaprio is good as a lucky young gunslinger who gets to kiss the heroine. But not even the cast can help this failed project. Raimi brings a lot of razzle-dazzle to his camera work, but it doesn't make the film any more substantial. --Tom Keogh

    A comic book western directed by Sam Raimi. This movie is the greatest! Interesting direction and characters make for a fun shootout for the fastest gun. Sharon Stone is a great competitor, and Gene Hackman plays a guy you want to shoot. It's like watching a sporting event. Each round provides more excitement and twists, until only one man (or woman) is left standing. One of my favorite westerns.
