I am not Sharon Stone’s biggest fan and I did not put a question to to like this movie when I saw it, but now I accumulate myself watching it every time it is on tv. Gene Hackman is tremendous as the sadistic John Herod, he is even meaner than in Unforgiven. Russell Crowe gives a excellent performance as Cort, and Crowe is finally getting the attention that he deserves as a serious actor. Sharon Stone’s role does not request all that great of her and she does what is expected of her. Leonardo DiCaprio exudes the appropriate amount of cockiness as the young upstart gunslinger. There are some suited minor roles in the film, including Lance Henriksen as Ace and Keith David as Cantrell, the man secretly hired by the oppressed townfolk to retract out Herod. The most dramatic moment in the film comes when he faces Herod and the townspeople bend their heads in prayer for salvation only to be disappointed as Cantrell comes to a brutal demolish. Some of the other reviewers found the camera angles annoying and definite scenes unrealistic. Well, this movie doesn’t strive for realism. It is piece send off of spaghetti westerns and share live action adult cartoon. If you stare the movie in this spirit, you cannot wait on but like it.
The Mercurial and the Dull has long been derided as a Sharon Stone star vehicle that flopped. However, there is grand more to this film than meets the explore. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes, Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gary Sinise, Keith David, and Lance Henricksen, this film is a refreshing change from past takes on the western.
Stone plays a mild and gorgeous gunslinger, approach out of the dusty plains to the town of Redemption, seeking revenge for the execute of her sheriff father years ago by the town dictator John Herrod, a gloomy and malevolent customary gunfighter intent on maintaining his stranglehold on the disturbed populace by staging a rapidly diagram contest, the better to publically eliminate any opposition to his rule, and to squash any hope of salvation. Drawn into this black contest are Herrod’s aged partner turned preacher Cort, a man whose tortured soul detached seeks it’s beget salvation, and who Herrod seeks to pull serve to Hell. Herrord’s son, The Kid, enrolls in the contest as a design to discover fame and glory, and to reveal himself to a unruffled and uncaring father. Thrown into the mix are a number of brilliant characters advance to town to peep their bear fortunes and the fireworks ensue. There is strong symbolism throughout this film, shades of death and rebirth, remarkable archetypal figures in the charaters of Herrod, the grand demonic ruler of the underworld, and Cort, the misguided but eventual redeemer and saviour.
This film boasts a strong and talented cast that give some wonderfully exquisite performances. Sam Raimi does an astonishing job once again of producing a stylishly directed record of loss, redemtion, salvation, and revenge in this telling of the western as mdoern story.
