Every Leonardo DiCaprio Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Sam Raimi's underappreciated revisionist Western is one of very few films that finds DiCaprio planted firmly in a supporting role, this time working alongside the likes of Sharon Stone and Gene Hackman as a cocky young gunslinger called The Kid.

For a Western, The Quick and the Dead is a perfectly fine achievement complete with effective gunfights, strong cinematography, and compelling characters (the best of which is surely Hackman's cold villain Herod), though it never becomes more than a predictable piece of popcorn fun.

That's not a knock, mind: The Quick and the Dead is wickedly exciting as it is, and though DiCaprio would never do this kind of character work again, his arrogant yet tragic turn as a doomed gunfighter still makes for a solid little role.
