The Quick and the Dead

This is a medium key film with a solid story line. You have to admire the economy with which HBO produced this film. Only about a dozen actors ever appear and most of them are gone by film's end. The pacing isn't fast but it's sure. Elliot moves through the phases of mysterious stranger to family friend and a logical fashion. Likewise Conti and Capshaw progress from greenhorns to being a self reliant family unit.
