Title: DEAD MAN BARELY LIVES.
Review: I THINK JOHNNY DEPP IS A GREAT ACTOR AND I RESPECT HIS ANTI-HOLLYWOOD PHILOSOPHY, BUT THIS MOVIE JUST BARELY TICKS. IT IS A CONTEMPORARY BLACK AND WHITE, ROCK AND ROLL ALMOST WESTERN.THE LUDICROUS STORY FOLLOWS THE EXPLOITS OF A BEWILDRED ACCOUNTANT WILLIAM BLAKE (DEPP) WHO ACCIDENTALLY BECOMES A NOTORIOUS GUNFIGHTER. HE ENCOUNTERS VARIOUS WEIRDOS ON HIS ILIAD TYPE JOURNEY THROUGH THE WEST. HE IS SEMI RESCUED BY A NUEROTIC INDIAN WHO IS HUMUROUS AT FIRST AND THEN JUST SILLY.ROBERT MITCHUM IS ONE BRIGHT SPOT IN THIS UNSTRUNG FILM. ANOTHER IS BILLY BOB THORNTON WHO PLAYS A 'BEEN ALONE TOO LONG IN THE WILDERNESS' PSYCHOTIC HILLBILLY.DEPP ALSO DOES HIS PART BUT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH YOU CAN DO IN A SEEMINGLY DRUG INDUCED HAZE OF A FILM.TAKE A PASS ON THIS ONE IF YOU LIKE YOUR MOVIES TO MAKE SENSE.THIS DOG JUST DONT HUNT.
