Okay so I hate Westerns, they bore me to death but this pleasantly surprised me. It's a bit slow to start off with but pay attention-it's crucial to the storyline. Just as you think the movie is predictable and you've got it all figured out, it's plot twist after plot twist. The last half an hour I just can't fault at all. Brilliantly written, brilliant casting, brilliant acting. Sharon Stone and Russell Crowe were brilliant, Leo's part wasn't THAT relevant, although he looks amazing and is very charming! The only Western I've liked, this is one for true film appreciators! Would certainly recommend.

These days everyone gets all excited when there’s a strong woman in a movie. Like with Wonder Woman. They act like it has never been seen. Here Sharon Stone is solid and bad ass. As a woman out for vengeance against the man that killed her father. A quick drawer tournament where you can challenge anyone. Might just be her answer. The supporting cast is fantastic as well. Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio before they became big names. Are especially fine. Just some goofy cartoonish violence held back the film from getting the good reviews it deserved. At least I think that’s why Siskel & Ebert didn’t like it. Otherwise I always found it almost impossible not to like but some how critics found a way.

Nice change of pace and quirkiness from the usual western formula. The whole cast were all equally good and memorable. Only thing that wounded me was the slowness in between. But the ending was fantastic and worth the wait.

Loved this movie years ago and still love it today. Is the acting perfect? no. Is the store the best? no. But I still enjoy it deeply and love Sharon Stone as "the Lady"

Now I saw this in the cinema in 1995 and had somehow managed to completely forget all about it - until I saw it again just last week and realised why. It's not that it is awful, it's just that it is so very derivative and very, very dependant on Gene Hackman ("Herod") who walks a fine line between m More

One would think that with a star-studded cast like this, you'd have an incredible movie. Sadly, one would be wrong. In the case of _The Quick and The Dead_ (which, incidentally, is NOT based on the Louis L'Amour western novel of the same title) the whole is **not** greater than the sum of its parts. More

Nice try from Raimi, but ultimately it creeps just above average.

The Western is a tough genre to tackle in the modern age, more so when it's post Dances With Wolves and Unforgiven's masterclasses 101. But tackling both these challenges is nothing to the one which director Sam Raimi asks of the More
