Storyline

- TriviaDirector Giovanni Veronesi stated in an interview that David Bowie answered to his proposal to take part to the movie in 48 hours, telling him: "you are crazy proposing me this movie, but I'm crazier because I'm accepting". Bowie's only condition was to have an accommodation without barking dogs within a radius of 3 kilometers, so they had to do a sort of raid around the countryside and same Veronesi adopted some of the dogs they picked up.
- GoofsThe telegraph office has what appears to be a reel-to-reel film projector, some time before the beginning of the twentieth century.

Featured review
"You got a nice little town here... GREAT PLACE TO DIE!" Spoken with what could be the worst British/Southern/Western accent ever recorded, psychopath gunfighter Jack Sikora (Bowie) tries to draw out retired gunfighter Johnny Lowen (Keitel). This is not a comedy, though I understand why someone would try to pass it off as one- it IS funny to see Bowie try to act 'old west'. But, as with the 'fair catch' call in football, you have to indicate you are a comedy before the movie is released and then make moves to indicate you are a comedy. That didn't happen here, though I suspect audience response (in the US, anyway) caused those responsible for the movie to re-think their strategy and throw the comedy label on it. Oh, it is a comedy, in fact I've gotten hours of comedic enjoyment out of it already. Making sound bites from Bowie's western phrases has been a hoot (or as he might say, 'a hut'). But once you see it, you'll know that it's more of a train-wreck than an attempt at humor. "This ain't a bad dream, Johnny, it's really me", says Jack/Bowie. Indeed.
