Adam R Jaramusch's best work probably in his life. Elgaic, comedic, tragic and intensely political if you want that political lens and all the more powerful for its restraint. Absurd, slapstick and stupid in parts as equal as it is epic and existential. William Blake poetry writ fine indeed. Neil Young's wrenching soundtrack is like electro brain shock therapy. Arrestingly beautiful and equally ugly. Stand out performances from everyone including Mitchum's last ever performance. A trippy hallucinatory journey into the western cannon. A perfect execution from an otherwise hit and miss self-aborbed director. His next nearest was Ghost Dog and this piece eclipses that by a thousand miles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Audience Member The story is straight forward and thus the plot is boring. The directing and pace in general create a monotone that makes you want the movie to end. Gary Farmer carries the whole film as the mysterious and eccentric native wise-guy. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review John D The movie is best at keeping one thinking something important is about to happen, but it never does. Good movie to sleep through so it isn't a complete waste of time. The score by Neil Young does it justice as again it feels like something important is about to happen but never does. Reading this review is a lot like watching the movie Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Daniel B Dead Man es una representación del que sin importar la época, la podredume social se encarga de ser la primera en fomentar la violencia. Un retrato del cómo la avaricia, la soberbia y la ira siempre son la resolución a cualquier problema, dónde a pesar de sentirnos "más sofisticados" que ciertos grupos marginados, la realidad es que todos nos reducimos a la violencia. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review cameron c One of Jim Jarmusch's best. Everything about this movie comes perfectly together, from Farmer's and Depp's performances, through the dreamy camera work, to Young's fantastic score. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Red T An All Time Classic. The acting is excellent across the board. The villains are very good, and Deep gives a phenomenal performance and has great chemistry with Nobody. The cinematography is phenomenal with a chilling, isolated atmosphere and great camerawork. The black and white looks excellent and doesn't feel out of place at all. The music is THE best part, what an incredible soundtrack that's so distinct and catchy. This is edited very well and paced beautifully as a moderate slow burn. The only issue really is the villains may have been given a bit too much screen time despite how good they are as most don't even come into the main story in the end. It very well could've just been Cole hunting him. However that doesn't really detract because the scenes are just as good as Deep's. This is very distinct especially coming out in 95' post Unforgiven . The closest I can compare this too is a cross between a Spaghetti Western & Jeremiah Johnson in black and white. Everyone should give this a shot once. It will definitely leave an impression. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
