![]() The Lone Ranger is Tonto’s movie. Good thing, since Tonto is played by Johnny Depp. Everybody knows this, just as everybody knows Johnny Depp is mighty white. Ironically, only in P.C. Hollywood would it be politically acceptable for a white guy to play an iconic Indian character in a 21st ce…

Funny how life mirrors art for the unfortunates who star in it. Hackman, Crowe, DiCaprio, Stone, Sinese … what a waste of talent. In … |

![]() Not even movie-of-the-week quality, this lame Western is miscast, trite, and just plain phony. As a Western fan, I figured it would be worth a watch. Nope. |

![]() Think the title is long? Consider yourself warned: this boring movie never seems to end, meandering for nearly 2½ hours. Plus it commits the deadly sin of assuming that the viewer is familiar with the particulars of Jesse James’ early legend, without which the poorly told story has no narrative… |
