Review – Dead Man

The box bills this as “a tale of adventure and intrigue in the wild, wild, west!” Um, okay, maybe compared to Jim Jarmusch’s other films. Even so, this is still a slow, sometimes downright ponderous production. The Neil Young soundtrack is more than its share of annoying, and it’s a shame that anyone feels like Crispin Glover still needs to continue to find acting work. All that aside, however, if you’re willing to devote the time to pay attention to this film, it’s a fairly rewarding experience. Most of the acting is very underplayed, almost subtle. Leave it to Jarmusch to make a subtle western. Worth seeing
