The Quick and the Dead (1995)
Cheerfully goofy Raimi-ized Western has enough delightful business lurking in the margins to compensate for the giant miscalculation at its center -- Sharon Stone, bless her talent-free heart, apparently was under the impression that this was high drama. Fortunately for us, the film doesn't seem overly interested in the stoicism of Stone either. It's more concerned with Gene Hackman's scenery chewing and gunfights and quirky editing and the most zooms this side of Mario Bava and a rather large hole in Keith David's head. So overall it's a good time.
Grade: B-
