I'm not here to bash this film or the actors in it, but i will tell you exactly what i took away from this movie.
First off Neil young was hired to play electric guitar through out this movie? WHY? It was severely annoying having to hear the same 3 chords that my 12 year old nephew could play easily through the whole movie. it did not convey any kind of dread with me it was just annoying.
The scenes were just kinda silly, William Blake (johnny depp) did not act like anyone on the run. He had no money a revolver with 5 shots in it. When some marshals show up he kills them and doesn't even bother to search the bodies for anything useful. He comes upon a deer that has been shot in the neck i'm assuming for him to eat because the Indians were following him, he cuddles up next to it and takes a nap instead of eating it even though they clearly make a point to show that he is starving in a earlier scene. At one point they are in a general store they kill the keeper but only take some tobacco? Why not load up on ammo and maybe just maybe do something about the fact he is shot again. They could have stopped the bleeding easily and the fact they know they are being followed and left the other canoes intact. Why not destroy them so that wasn't a possibility? So that either means the main characters are severely stupid or the filmmaker has no idea what a regular person would do in these situations The scene with Billy Bob Thorton and Iggy pop dressed in drag was completely hysterical I laughed loud at that, Johnny Depp is one of my all time favorite actors, and the way the director wanted him to play the part he did a excellent job.
That said i really didn't like this movie that much, i wanted to because i seen all the good reviews here but it just didn't do it for me.
