Best movie ever!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Blistering performances.

Lousy excuse for a western. The protagonist is hard to like at all, and his Grandfather, Harvey Keitel as Johhny Lowden, is misused and colorless. The worst part of the whole script is how a tribe of Native Americans sit at their village and wait for the village news carrier come and tell everyone of the arrival of Johnny Lowden and then David Bowie's character (one of the worst characters I've ever seen). The village never does anything but be a sounding board and then parties after the bad guy is dead, and one must wonder why the hell do they care? When the town elder foretells the future of the two meeting, it's laughable. Guess why they call it a comedy. The town loon is a poorly developed character who looses a chance to be of much value except at the end. Even Harvey Keitel finds it hard to fake laughter at the conclusion.The western genre is not dead, but this poor excuse for a story should have been a "pass" and never green-lighted.

I was so surprised how this movie had bad writing, a worse storyline while employing a cast like Harvey Keitel and David Bowie. Not to mention the fact that, while dubbing a movie ruins a film altogether, they've dubbed the doctor's lines in English. We were wondering why that actor was so bad.The dubbing ruined part of the intensity the actor might have brought, but it could have never made up for the multitude of flaws and the bad ending this movie had. Is it any wonder the voting for this movie is going lower and lower?I had "Unforgiven" in the DVD player, ready to go, but put it off until the end, just to see how the movie turned out... Rent anything else but this.

"You got a nice little town here... GREAT PLACE TO DIE!" Spoken with what could be the worst British/Southern/Western accent ever recorded, psychopath gunfighter Jack Sikora (Bowie) tries to draw out retired gunfighter Johnny Lowen (Keitel). This is not a comedy, though I understand why someone would try to pass it off as one- it IS funny to see Bowie try to act 'old west'. But, as with the 'fair catch' call in football, you have to indicate you are a comedy before the movie is released and then make moves to indicate you are a comedy. That didn't happen here, though I suspect audience response (in the US, anyway) caused those responsible for the movie to re-think their strategy and throw the comedy label on it. Oh, it is a comedy, in fact I've gotten hours of comedic enjoyment out of it already. Making sound bites from Bowie's western phrases has been a hoot (or as he might say, 'a hut'). But once you see it, you'll know that it's more of a train-wreck than an attempt at humor. "This ain't a bad dream, Johnny, it's really me", says Jack/Bowie. Indeed.

I think that Pieraccioni made one very good film that is "Il ciclone", then he used the fame he got with this movie to sell other ones. I think he should stop, and then appear again only with a movie at the same level as "il ciclone" was; otherwise he is going to ruin the good image he has now.
