The Quick and the Dead (1995)6.1 /10

R (US) · USA · English · 108 min · Feb 10, 1995 · More  
Directed by:  Sam Raimi
Written by:  Simon Moore

Storyline:  Ellen, an enigmatic gunslinger, arrives in the town of Redemption with a hunger for revenge, since her father was murdered by John Herod, the mayor of the town. With the excuse of an annual rapid-fire tournament, she competes and faces, among others, 'The Kid', someone with a past of his own. This underrated film by director Sam Raimi is an entertaining but atypical western with an excellent cast, where Gene Hackman stands out, and a beautiful soundtrack. It is certainly a film to be rediscovered.
