MCT:April 17, 2008Sharon Stone is a gunslinger who gets her draws off quick (so what's new?) in Sam Raimi's homage to spaghetti westerns.

I think this movie is remarkably underrated for its wonderful awfulness. It's also interesting to look at the stars of this movie and realize that the actors who played more secondary characters (Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio) are now bigger stars than the people who were big stars when it was made (Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman).

Russel Crow, Gene Hackman and Sharon Stone did a fantastic job in this film. The ending was unbelievable when Gene Hackman shot his own son Leonardo Dicapro! :)

MCT:March 24, 2008I hate when movie critics defend movies they enjoy by degrading 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 a vastly underrated mini-classic and if you don't think so, then you're a big dumb moron!
Raimi's movie borrows heavily from classic spaghetti westerns, but Raimi has a style of his own, and plenty of it; complete with straightforward, fast-paced action, a plethora of unusual camera angles, creaking leather and cleverly choreographed violence.
Sharon Stone is a strong lead as an Eastwood-esque interloper with no name and a score to settle, while Hackman's creepy "badguy" is full of malicious delight at his own devilish cunning.
The whole film has tremendous visual style, and the frequent bursts of violence are delivered with a clever and often hilarious use of special effects. The Quick and The Dead will always be the best "Western?" I've ever seen. -
MCT:March 4, 2008Definitely not Sam Raimi's best work. Good characters that have terrible chemistry. The directing is overdone at times and it definitely loses the western feel at times. Not bad but not good either.
