Just watched this UK premier at Glasgow Film Theatre and sure hope it gets the full general release it deserves.
If you like your movies to motor along without the usual padding of most films nowadays... This is for you!
The main character is a cross between Clint Eastwood's man with no name from Sergio Leone's western trilogy,Big Arnie's Terminator and Jean Reno's Leon with a sprinkle of pissed off hobo thrown in for good measure.
Plenty of viceral demise of the bad guys applied with humorous aplomb.
A perfectly applied soundtrack for this particular movie genre combined with truly beautiful desolate landscapes makes for a memorable experience.
Some reviewers have mentioned the similarities with Quentin Tarantino movies, which it definitely takes a lot of its style queues from. But I would add the proviso, that the Director has just dipped back into the same movie tool bag of 70s style that Tarantino did.
All in all I will stick my neck out and say this has all the hallmarks of a cult classic,an hour and a half of pure enjoyment rarely seen in cinema nowadays,especially produced on such a budget.
