There is so much to this movie to almost love. Raining has his own style and it's almost here in full creating a western film that is entirely it's own thing. Weirdly, I think the problem is it just doesn't go far enough. Give me crazy! Explain some of the stuff happening and the little touches that are added to certain characters. I want to see these more fleshed out, I want pulp and insanity, I want it stretched into a series where each week we're given another wild gunslinger to show up and do battle with. There's such potential here for crazy fun and it just doesn't fully get there. It's still fun though, it's crazy and fun for a western. Stone, Crowe, Hackman and DiCaprio are all doing some fun stuff it just doesn't reach the heights I'd like.
This is still a solid experience, a great TV movie to enjoy whenever you feel like a little bit of odd western fun. It can easily be tuned out for stretches without really missing a ton but the fun is definitely there.
