The Quick and the Dead (1998, DVD) STONE IS SUPERB

Hackman plays the villain John Herod who bullies the town folk, takes their livelihood, so of course he owns the town.
Herod takes the town folks money, What does the town get? "IT GETS TO LIVE"
Russell Crowe "Cort" plays a Man Of God who rode with Herod in his young years.
Sharon Stone plays "The Lady" who rides into town seeking revenge for the death of her father,
Herod hands Stone a gun ( she was a child ) tells her "shoot the rope, and your Daddy can live"! "Remember Daddy will always love you" Sinise tells her his last words.
Herod starts up a gun fight, winner takes all "cash was the prize".
Last man standing advances to the next round.
Then it was fight to the death! Advance to the next round if you live......
Herod draws "The Kid" his own son he never loved nor claimed.
Stone is determined to kill Herod,as the Kid died in her arms.
"You would fight your own son she snarls with hatred in her eyes"
Herod response ....he never proved he was mine, he was just a farmer that claimed he was.....
Great Actors in this but....Stone steals the show, she is tough and beautiful at the same time, whoever remarked Sharon Stone can't act, is dead wrong!!
This is a superb modern version of a western. The acting is very good and believable.
Cast includes Gene Hackman, Russel Crow, Sharon Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio and Gary Sinise.
Dislikes?? None from myself, AWESOME MOVIE! Wish all movies were like this one! A Good Movie is few and far between these days. Buy it or rent it if you can find it somewhere!! As for myself still have the VHS Copy, Says it all...
