I have been struggling to articulate what I found so great about this movie, and what I can settle on right now is the way that both the main character and the film itself seem to pick up momentum as things go on.

I am not exactly sure what this means to the film thematically, but again I thing it is interesting to chew on and the not understanding never frustrates me the way it does in other films.

Dead Man does have moments where it threatens to grow a little too slow and maudlin for its own good, but it never stays that way for long as it traces Blake's bizarre odyssey through a Wild West that is very far removed from your average John Wayne film or even your average Clint Eastwood film.

Dead Man tells the off beat tale of William Blake, a young man jilted by his fiance who hops on a train and heads to a desolate western town called Machine.
