...kiss Charlie Sheeeen!"). Yet I must commend director Stephen Herek for being so economical. It's always good to see another saved-from-the-executioner-at-the-last-minute scene or to see Kiefer Sutherland once again with his back against a tree in a one-against-20 gunfight (this is his third time doing it, and he just keeps getting better). Indeed, there were moments, when four muscular men with determined faces were pictured galloping across the countryside, squinting and gritting ther teeth with determination, when I just wanted to stand up and lament, "Where oh where...

For Eastwood it was something new, garbed in familiar cowboy clothing. Only after the final gunfight does the director allow his alter ego, the actor, to indulge in a brief valedictory to the satiric excess that characterized the Eastwood of an earlier era. "Any son of a bitch who takes a shot at me," gunman William Munny bellows into the night, "I'm not only going...
