Off beat Humour or Cheesyness? - The Quick and the Dead review by CP Customer
A star studded western, right up my street. I'm not sure about Sharon Stone's performance in this, and there is some cheesy acting and lines by one or two others, surprisingly, DiCaprio who I usually rate. It is an enjoyable film and as a western fan, for me it was good watching all in all. Some may find it a little long for such a basic story line, and the end is predictable but that didn't ruin the film, if you don't mind a western, this is worth a look at.
