Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

cogenerate I wanted very badly to love this movie and it was mostly good. But the main character portrayed by Sharon Stone was simply not believable. And not for any type of sexist reason. I could totally get behind the character itself, it was the acting that continuously broke the immersion for me. While the rest of the actors did a fine job of portraying their characters to the point that I forgot they were actors, multiple times I found myself thinking "this really isn't Sharon Stone's best performance". It just felt like she was trying too hard.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- The Quick and the Dead, 1995. The American West town is run by a corrupt gunfighter mayor who initiates a hourly money prize shootout for his devilish enjoyment. His son and many famous shootists arrive to participate.*Special Stars- Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio. DIR: Sam Raimi.*Theme- Evil wins when god men do not act.*Trivia/location/goofs- Look for a wonderful cast of amazing character faces as the gunfighters.*Emotion- Women's Lib hits the West in this film. A wonderful suspenseful 'spin' on the old Western film cliché that takes you into the characters of the competition. Spagetti western's style was successful by this Raimi director.*Based On- a screenplay.

capone666 The Quick and the DeadWomen have showdowns everyday but instead of pistols they shoot glares at each other.Unfortunately, the female in this western will have to use something a little less subtle.In Redemption for the quick draw competition, the Lady (Sharon Stone) attracts the attention of the corrupt organizer (Gene Hackman) and his participants: an imprisoned preacher (Russell Crowe), a kid (Leonardo DiCaprio) with something to prove and a hired gun (Keith David).As the ranks thin, she draws closer to her true goal: killing the man who forced her to shoot her father (Gary Sinise).A visually striking oater with rapid-fire pacing and colorful characters, director Sam Raimi brings his frenetic style to the usually static Wild West showdown with eye-popping results. This energy is even enough to make up for miscasting Stone in the lead.Incidentally, like golf, ladies got to fire at their dueling opponents from the women's tee.Green Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Robert J. Maxwell When it comes to ritualized shootouts in the Old West, you can go too far -- and they have gone it.Sharon Stone can give a convincing performance when she has the chance, as in "Casino." But who -- even among the professionals here -- can give anything resembling a performance in this clumsy Kabuki Theater?The director seems to have aimed for an even more highly stylized spaghetti Western than the originals, but the target has been riddled with holes and the intent has finally lodged somewhere in the center mass of a first-person video game for ten-year-olds.A shame to do this to such a competent cast but they're all DOA. Yes. It's a one-way ticket to Boot Hill.The movie isn't worth as much attention as it's gotten.
