"Sam Raimi (director of the 'Spider-Man' trilogy and 'The Evil Dead') builds in 'The Quick and the Dead' a spaghetti western endowed with visual mannerisms, style and dynamism. Incorporating his own style, he subverts a very worn out genre and puts it in new clothing, thus delivering a fun and unique western. The tone that permeates the film is a light suspense, almost cartoonish, which has fun with its resolutions and plays with the expectations of the viewer. It is also interesting to highlight the great cast that makes up the film, which includes young Leonardo DiCaprio and Sharon Stone at the beginning of their careers."
