The Quick and the Dead
Originally released: 1995
Raimi's knockabout western pastiche boasts performances as garishly unsubtle as its feminist spin. Interesting though it is now to see DiCaprio and Crowe on the cusp of stardom, the main attractions are some energetic bullet's eye view photography and game send-ups of everything from High Noon to Once Upon a Time in the West. Not Raimi at his exuberant best, but a lot more fun than Last Man Standing.
