The Sicilian stars Christopher Lambert as Salvatore Guiliano who lives in Sicily and wants to buy land for the poor people there, but he will encounter significant resistance to do just that.
This movie quite frankly, is fucking terrible, first off it wastes a great cast with not only Lambert but also Terence Stamp, Joss Ackland, John Tuturro and Andreas Katsulas all of them are given nothing to do here at all, second the film lacks focus big time, there are some big ideas here but the way director Michael Cimino handles them is pathetic, everything crumbles to dust and the movie is far far too long, nearly 2 and a half hours, which is completely unacceptable given the film's enormous failings.
On the other hand the movie looks good with those dramatic shots of the mountains and it also has a good musical score but the movie lacks focus on a story level and it wastes a terrific cast so only a .5 out of 5.
