There is nothing flashy about Walter Hill’s latest western Dead for a Dollar.

Rarely has so little tension been generated by a hero with so many bad guys lining up to kill him.

Hill turns... shortcomings into virtues. The picture’s surface austerity and simplicity have a crystallizing effect, drawing our attention to the coldhearted, transactional nature of this world.

I find it a cheap, conventional, incredibly boring western, lacking in excitement and riding at an erratic pace with the outlaws played by Christoph Waltz and Willem Dafoe. [Full review in Spanish]
