Dead Man from writer/director Jim Jarmusch didn't impress me very much as it seemed to impress others. In this western black comedy, J J uses his quirky and unique modern sensibilities to take us to another time and place where mayhem reigned. This is not CITY SLICKERS but a ridiculous rendition of a city slicker turned gunfighter who with an enigmatic Indian buddy heads for the North West... I can understand the film being shot in black and white. Makes a good deal of sense. But the film is long, boring and knowing my taste in music, the soundtrack drove me crazy! I'm being very generous with my 2.

Usually like your reviews and movie choices but this isn't good at all...
What isn't good?
My choice of movie?
or do you object to what I stated about the film?
If so, you must obviously have seen the film to dislike what I expressed... or disliking what I said makes no sense at all.
It's my point of view. I could care less if someone likes it or dislikes it. In criticism, that means absolutely nothing at all. It's like stating "nothing".
