Johnny Depp is one of the most talented & influential actors of the Modern-Era. His body of work proves that fact right! Having played some of the most twisted characters, Depp reinvents himself with his outstanding performance as a meek accountant in 'Dead Man'. WOW!
'Dead Man' Synopsis: On the run after murdering a man, accountant William Blake encounters a strange North American man named Nobody who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world.
'Dead Man', as a film, has the power to engross its viewer. Its an interesting film, that is executed sharply by Cult-Filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. Jarmusch executes the film with style & a sense of wonderment, which works big time. The Narrative is crisp & even humorous at times. Jarmusch's Screenplay & Direction, both, are very well-done. Cinematography is fabulous. Editing is decent. Art Design is proper.
Performance-Wise: Its a Johnny Depp Show All The Way! He's simply outstanding as the protagonist. This has to be Depp's finest performance from the mid 1990's. Gary Farmer is efficient. Crispin Glover & John Hurt are okay. Gabriel Byrne is ever-impressive.
On the whole, 'Dead Man' is certainly a film worth watching.
