The plot of Sam Raimi's low-camp revenge thriller The Quick and the Dead is little more than an excuse to line up one cowboy (or girl) opposite another and let the eyeball-to-eyeball fireworks fly. Sharon Stone, her lips glued together with sober resolve, is a mysterious loner who rides into the town of Redemption, where the locals are about to commence their annual quick-draw tournament. The shoot-outs, which Raimi clearly got a kick out of staging, are stylish and fun. It's only when each one ends that you realize there's virtually nothing going on in the rest of the movie.
