This was an amazing film, oriental martial arts meets western gunsmoke
action, the cinematography was like film 300 in a cowboy western and then crossed with martial arts action Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and much
more. In this broken town, a master
swordsman hides and runs away from his past swearing never to fight again,
but then learns that sometimes you can't runaway from the past, you have to
fight or someone else will cry. The movie is a storm of bullets,
blades, gunmen and ninjas, set in a beautiful western vista, it
is eye-candy from beginning to end for everyone. The 1080p 2.35 X 1 AVC @ 32 MBPS digital High
Definition picture and DTS-HD 5.1 MA lossless soundmix are really impressive, as
good as you could expect for a genre film like this and is better than any DVD
version could be, while extras include Digital Copy for PC and PC portable
devices, Deleted Scenes and Behind The Scenes Montage.
