advertised as "a dark, bitter commentary on modern american life cloaked in the form of a surrealist western," you can see dead man one of two ways: as a brilliant masterpiece and a marvel of independent cinema, or you can be bored to tears with the meandering psuedo-plot and semi-babble. i think much of what you think about the movie comes down to if you like jim jarmusch or not. i happen to like him, most of the time, so i enjoyed dead man. however, i did make it a point to watch the movie by myself because i didn't want to subject others to a potentially "pointless" movie. so, buyer beware i guess.
