One of those enduringly great movies that captures the spirit of the time in which it was made. A pair of outlaws discover that the free-and-easy west in which they've lived is being overtaken by the modern world. What do two men do when there just isn't a place for them any more?

A shamelessly nostalgic and bittersweet reflection on the loss of innocence, not least in the western genre itself; the film is unapologetically romantic about the activities of a couple of bandits, but they are written and played with such charm and conviction that you accept them utterly and keenly feel the loss of everything that they represent. Great performances from the three leads, and a script filled with quotable lines and memorable moments - not sure it's strictly speaking a classic western in the traditional sense, but certainly a classic film.

Famous box-office bomb is, as usual, not actually as bad as all that, just absurdly overblown for what should really have mid-budget genre movie written all over it. Origin story for the famous pulp western character; what makes the film curious (and quite interesting) is the way that it tries to combine different styles and tones - pulp and revisionist western elements rub up against the same kind of offbeat comic fantasy Verbinski and Depp had more success with elsewhere. This doesn't really work, but it's an undeniably curious mix.

Still, curious only takes you so far, and this is unlikely to be a film that lingers in most peoples' memory, despite a decent cast and good production values. Earns another point for the last twenty minutes, which are a genuinely impressive piece of Hollywood blockbuster bombast and spectacle. The rest could be worse, but could certainly be better, too.
