Continuity mistake: When Sharon Stone confronts Gene Hackman at the end, she throws the marshal star at his feet. It is an inch or two in front of his boots. After he is shot, he gets flung backwards several feet. Stone then picks the star up and throws it to Russell Crowe. She picks it up from behind Hackman's body, several feet away from where it landed but still sticking out of the sand the same way.

0/10. I was feeling generous with this rating due to the fact Sam Raimi kicked off the wave of superhero movies with the Spider-Man trilogy. He's a good film maker who's got a great amount of talent. That said, what was he thinking here? Why can't people accept the fact Sharon Stone can't act? She's void of any real talent outside of flashing her body in in either risque shots or nude scenes. Leonardo Diacaprio's just as bad here, she should've married him, they'd have blended well together. Gene Hackman's talent goes to waste as he's the only actor capable in this dreary cliche ridden Western. A better story with replacements for Stone and Dicaprio like say Linda Hamilton and Paul Rudd would've been a whole lot better.

Trivia: Star and Co-producer Sharon Stone was so adamant that Leonardo DiCaprio be cast as "The Kid" that when the production company refused his hiring, wanting a higher profile actor, she paid his salary personally out of her own pocket. She also hand-picked and insisted on the hiring of Russell Crowe, but fortunately for her pocketbook the production company agreed. (Source: IMDb)
