Sukiyaki Western Django

What drew me to this movie was reading about Tarantino's new film "Django Unchained" and my love for the original speghetti western "Django".

This is a Japanese prequel to "Django" The actors speak english which I really didn't like. most of them were very awkward sounding, the main characters at least did a decent job. I think I would have enjoyed it much more if it was subtitled. Even if they are bad actors, I would have no idea.

The story was all over the place and so was the tone. Theres a scene where a guy is shot and the camera zooms out so that we see that he's got a giant cartoony hole in his stomach but then we see a scene where a kids dad is shot and we're supposed to take it seriously. I really wish they didn't jump all over the place like that.

But, if you accept that this is a ridiculous movie you can enjoy the insane plot and even more insane action.

Also, If you are a fan of Western and samurai films, there are many references for you to spot.
