Customer Reviews

This movie is DEAD.
The acting and the plot is really bad. What is Val Kilmer doing in this movie?

It's a huge waste of time and money.

Effort to make a different western
Val Kilmer plays the dead man: the bounty on the wrong man
is to be paid for a drunken Sheriff and a bar maid, his Civil war bride.
All sorrow and blood for bounty.
A very black western that comes just short of an horror movie.
More blood and severed heads than I would ever like to see
again. We have no sympathy left for anyone by the happy ending.

Artistic Western
Sheesh! I am so glad I stumbled into this artistically-done western. Until seeing Dead Man's Bounty, I admired The Good, Bad, and Ugly as the most artistic film in the genre. Dead Man's Bounty exceeded my expectations, particularly in the stylistic camera work and editing - notable in the character's viewpoints. I found myself captivated by the story without even being able to understand all of what was being said; it literally made me think of those old cowboys with broken ear drums from all that gunfire.

As a final note, I thought it would never get any more repulsively great than Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales spitting a big, black tobacco loogie on another guy's boot. Dead Man's Bounty raises the bar with a scene in which a cowboy draws a naked lady in the sand with his urine.
