    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 audience in his stab at the genre. A female gunslinger is here played by a Hollywood beauty, Sharon Stone, but she i…

A pacifist preacher is forced by Herod to participate in the contest, but he ain't no conventional minister (Russell Crowe). Other notables include: Leonardo DiCaprio, Lance H…

    51/100 $123,000 is up for grabs to the last person standing in a gunfighter contest in a small, lawless town. An entertaining western that I thought would be far more entertaining. Once the premise is set, the end of the contest is obvious and inevitable so it just becomes a matter of what happens in between. In this case, not a whole lot. It was fun watching all the big names that show up in this film back when t…
