I was hoping for a good western movie. I didn’t get it. I was looking for some quality actors to shine in roles I hadn’t seen them in before. I did not find that, either. The talented Sam Raimi’s (Spider-Man, For Love of the Game) The Quick and the Dead failed in many aspects. This movie had never been on my “must-see list” but had been on my “hope-to-see list” for the last 15 years. I was hopeful but not optimistic that I would find the movie rewarding. For a western, I have not much happened in this one. The film was very predictable. It was one of those movies with too many stupid coincidences to take seriously.
