This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.


I normally wouldn't feel the need to leave negative comments on a film, but the fact that this is so highly lauded makes me feel the need to ask....wtf are people smoking??

I watched this film several years ago at a Korean film festival, on the big screen, and I remember how furious I was that I wasted my time with this piece of crap over something far more worthwhile.

First of all, the plot is basically non-nonsensical. Looking back, I can remember something about a train, a guy on a motorcycle, a cowboy...and that's about it. Now, I'm totally fine with a film that highlights character, atmosphere, style, action - whatever - over plot. But this only works if the aforementioned things are actually engaging. But alas...all we are left with is simply a mess.

Which brings me to the action. This movie is very much in the anti-physics style of Michael Bay wherein we have no idea where or how things are happening. They. Just. Do. The average shot length seems to be about half a second. I found it all incredibly lame and dull. There's simply no continuity of action. It's like taking random words from a novel and mixing them up. It doesn't make a story.

As for the acting, the soundtrack, etc., I honestly can't remember a single detail.

Don't make the mistake I did. There are so many great films in the world to watch instead of this pile of crap. 1/10

Maybe it's a you love it or hate it kind of film?

Because I watched this movie last night and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. I love Westerns and action movies with ridiculously over the top sequences (Fast & Furious, anyone?), and for me this movie had both of those.

Not to me. Found it a passable movie, decently fun but nothing great. Many movies in the mindless fun genre that manage to be more coherent, funny, and less reliant on the main guy (who here would be WEIRD?) surviving because the antagonists shoot like Stormtroopers on tranquilisers.

WTF are YOU smoking?!? Great movie and I don't smoke anything.

You can't remember a single detail? Sounds like you didn't pay much attention, or never even watched the movie.
