Only Jim Jarmusch could direct a Western like this: A poetry-loving American Indian mistakes accountant William Blake (Johnny Depp) for the English writer of the same name, while bounty hunters take Depp for a murderer. Jarmusch packs the film with an unlikely collection of castmates, including Iggy Pop, Gabriel Byrne, John Hurt, and Robert Mitchum in one of his last roles.
My Promulgation: John Depp is a great "freaky" actor. In this movie he doesn't disappoint. Too bad this was Robert Mitchum's last movie. The Iggy Pop char (and him) were not worth a chihuahua shit so it only got 3 stars.
I like renting movies to watch @ home, but let's be honest, most of them suck. However there is an occasional gem, so why should you wade through the crap? No in depth verbose commentary, or incredibly witty insight, just me mouthing off. I use NetFlix for my DVD rental, and so should you. They rule.
