This movie is a beautiful, engrossing period piece of the wild wild west. It's filled with engaging characters, Native American mysticism, and outlaw high-jinks that keep the action moving along at a decent clip. Highly recommended for the lover of Westerns.... Full review

Dead Man is a powerful, visual masterpiece that revisits the 1800's western era in a completely new and fascinating way. Shot in stunning black and white, director Jim Jarmusch creates a story like none other. We see William Blake, infallibly played... Full review

The Western genre has always been misunderstood as a simplistic, racist (and misogynistic) traditional genre due to the many mediocre Westerns of the 40s and 50s. However, real good Westerns have delighted us with complex stories that take advantage of... Full review

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Even in black and white, Johnny "William Blake" comes out strong in this movie and he makes me want more! This is a must see. Along with great music (Neil Young)... Full review

This by far is the most underated western you can find. From the muddy streets to the uncaring characters the movie shows a true west you cannot find in most movies of this era. Johnny Depp has a way of picking... Full review

I watched this movie with mute on most of the time. The monotonous guitar sound was extremely annoying! If not for the superb acting by Johnny Depp, the funny story details, (yes, it's funny!) I would have given it a F.... Full review

The lead single, "MC Sensation", and "Off-Flavour" seem to fit into a different, more colorful world independent of Jarmusch's film.....Clicks, buzzes, and krautrock rhythms suggest a fractured internal dialogue.... ... Full Review

With an incredibly subtle and moving performance by Johnny Depp as William Blake, and a strong supporting cast, Dead Man is both beautifully bleak and goofy.....Three quirky characters (including a Hungarian cousin new to the country) embark on ill-advised road trip from New York to Miami..... ...

Iggy Pop, Billy Bob Thornton, and Jared Harris turn up, bickering around a campfire;....Lance Henriksen is a cartoonishly vicious assassin, with Michael Wincott as his partner, filling the air with raspy, inconsequential observations.....Physically beautiful, temperamentally reflective, "meaningless" scene for scene until you ponder it afterward, the film is itself a poem --.... ...

Dead Man" is surprisingly bland. He's at his best when he simply allows the oddball dialogue to move things along, or when his camera speaks with effective visuals, punctuated by silence. This is a film that relies heavily on mood. ... Full Review
