This movie theme on US Wild West 1800 time period.

Director tries to show the real facts of the Wild wild west in 2000?I don’t know.I thought it is an adventure film but I am 100% flop on this guess.

Now review part, movie start with Johnny Depp,traveling from Cleveland to West (machines)on a train for a Job purpose. One more import point is the whole movie was shot in black & white. For first five mins, he shows different people changing but still Depp is on the train.Finally he reaches the destination & goes to the office, where he got job offer. After reaching there, he come to know that he lost the job to somebody else.In the same night, he meets a girl at the bar. He goes with the girl. Before sleeping on the bed,girls ex husband, come to the girl’s room. Boom,few arguments,and some shooting. Girl & her ex. friend are dead on the spot. Depp get injured. (To save Depp,girl comes in front of Depp. Bullet goes from girl heart to Depp’s heart.)Depps escapes from the spot on a horse to wild country side. Girlfriend's ex husband father hires, three killers to shoot Depp.Now chase is on. After escaping,Depp meets a native Indian ( his name is nobody, funny).He tries to remove Depps bullet from chest.But it is too deep.Now Indian put some sprit in to Depp’s body. Now chase is on.Killers tries to kill Depp. Now movie keeps on goes on killings & funny native Indians dialogs etc.etc. drags for 70+ mins.

Ending was not interesting or good to me.
Only good thing is too good photography & absolute amazing visuals.
(In black & while, he shows the Wild West scenes too good).
Some times background score is too exceptional. (Some times too loud & bad.)
Actor’s performance was good.

Finally I felt, I watched an American classic or Art movie or western psychic movie?
I don’t know. Not satisfied with whole movie.
(May be I am expecting adventure? Or I am not ready for two hours of black & white movie?)
