This was pretty decent most of the way through but the last 10 minutes are really superb. Getting Tetsuya Nakadai(the great Japanese star) to play the villan was a brilliant idea. His strained facial gestures are hilariously brilliant. He really raises the movie. He even wields a giant machette like a samurai sword in a few scenes! I suppose he's playing a mexican? It is never explained but it doesn't really matter. Good cast all around. Some inventive scenes but the end shoot out is great. Nakadai's facial expression are fantastic as he almost freezes in place after being shot. And the score which was rather functional takes on an inspired tone as the villan dies, which takes a scene chewingly long time. Hats off to Nakadai for raising this above average.
