Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

A western goes completely against his style, the acting is decent and its a fun movie but it shouldn't be a western

Sam Raimi one my favorites directors,he dared making a movie using a Leone style which step toward in a lot of bad reviews and critics,while for me a good movie this mix post modern and Leone spaguetti don't reach the high standard of Raimi's reputation,maybe for Sharon Stone's character in lead role for so linked in another famous movies,Hackman is a sort of another Unforgiven's character,in fact have several points that dragging down to this level,all star casting gave a hight status to the production,including Crowe and DiCaprio in early days,the final blast scene explain this failure,even so l like it!!!Resume:First watch: 1998 / How many: 3 / Source: TV/DVD / Rating: 7.5

When it comes to ritualized shootouts in the Old West, you can go too far -- and they have gone it.Sharon Stone can give a convincing performance when she has the chance, as in "Casino." But who -- even among the professionals here -- can give anything resembling a performance in this clumsy Kabuki Theater?The director seems to have aimed for an even more highly stylized spaghetti Western than the originals, but the target has been riddled with holes and the intent has finally lodged somewhere in the center mass of a first-person video game for ten-year-olds.A shame to do this to such a competent cast but they're all DOA. Yes. It's a one-way ticket to Boot Hill.The movie isn't worth as much attention as it's gotten.

Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio and Gary Sinise star in Sam Raimi's 1995 western. This takes place in small town, Redemption and Stone (Basic Instinct) plays Ellen, a female gunslinger who is seeking revenge for her father's murder when she was a child. Hackman (Superman) plays Herod, the town's former outlaw turned mayor who was responsible. She enters in a gunfighting contest held by him and tries to face him. Crowe (Gladiator) plays Cort, a preacher who was once part of Herod's gang who helps Ellen, DiCaprio (Titanic) plays Kid, a young man who was raised by Herod who also befriends her and Sinise (Forrest Gump) plays Ellen's father who was a marshal. This is a good western with a good cast, Hackman is a great bad guy as usual and Alan Silvestri's score is also great. I recommend this.
