Lucky me...
Just saw this at Hawaii's international film festival.
It was action from the get-go. A lot of eye candy (a bit chippendale sometimes...;p). They made sure that the 'good' and 'bad' both looked hott. ^^ The 'weird' provided all the goofball comedy.
The desert chase dominated second half of movie... really great editting there...I mean, really clean. Also, dark horses running against an endless vista of white sand always make for beautiful cinematography.
Great homage to the original. Must see.
