The Quick and the Dead (1995)
A fun Western in between different filmmaking periods.
Presentation:
Sharon Stone, young Leonardo diCaprio and a wide cast fill out a diverse palette of characters that make you want to root for nearly everyone.
Story:
The premise of the film is very engaging with a classic competition wittling down until the final players. With charismatic characters, you'll be rooting for your own character arc, though I have to say Russell Crowe's character is borderline frustrating. This plot structure compels you to watch until the very end, and like a good film, even if you know what happens, you'll still enjoy it anyway because you want to see how the characters reach the finish line.
Conclusion:
The world building is immaculate with it's own 1990s style inbetween classic western and modern. it's just a whole lot of fun and a great entry into older westerns.
