Anthology of six vignettes whose overarching theme seems to be the cruelty of the old west. We've got a singing cowboy, a bank robber who finds himself in a bad situation, a traveling sideshow featuring a man with no arms or legs reciting literature, a gold prospector who is ambushed after striking the mother lode, a romance blossoming on a wagon trail trek across the prairie, and a philosophical stagecoach ride. It features incredible cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel who captures the old west like never before. However, its dark humor takes some adjustment, and the jarring, over-the-top violence threatens to negate everything good about the film.
