The Quick and the Dead

Sam Raimi knows how to make a B-movie. While 1995’s The Quick and the Dead was seen as both a critical and box office failure, Raimi’s revisionist western has earned some respect over the years coming to be classified as a cult classic. Sharon Stone stars as The Lady, a gunfighter who arrives in the town of Redemption to enter a gunfighting competition. However, her true motives lie more with an undisclosed vendetta against the town’s owner John Herod (Gene Hackman) than winning any competition.
