Ratings and reviews

Loved the movie when it came on tv years ago and would buy now for my Samsung phone except the subtitles I can't seem to get rid of. Other than that, I'd purchase the movie and give it 5-stars!

Excellent western done in the style of The Evil Dead movies. Sam Raimi really hits the nail on the head while keeping true to his own visual style. Also, young Leonardo Dicaprio is actually really fun to watch in this movie and you can see his understanding of the profession even at such an early age.

Leonardo and Russel before they hit it big. Great cast in a Sam Rami insane film. Gives me original Darkman man feels every time I see this film. Its like Red Dead on crack!!
