The Good The Bad The Weird

What an extremely enjoyable film! Ji-woon Kim gives a visually stunning, action filled western set in '30s Manchuria. The plot is thin on the ground (to say the least), a train robber, outlaw and bounty hunter are all chasing each other across Chinese deserts on the hunt for buried treasure hinted at on a stolen treasure map. In turn they are pursued by the Japanese army and Chinese bandits and thats pretty much it. What makes this film is the excellent performances from all concerned, the quirky and funny script and the brilliant set pieces.

Did I mention how good it looks? The cinematography is fantastic, the sets are good and even the costumes are noticable in their quality. If you want to be thoroughly entertained, watch this.
