October 12, 2009The right balance between comedy and homage, Kim Ji Woon please take note, this is how you do it. This movie will certainly appeal more to genre fans, but it's still a lot of fun even if you never watched a single western in your life.

August 17, 2009Though this film felt VERY self-indulgent (looking at you Tarantino)...it was also at times a lot of fun to watch. Visually it's quite stunnig.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The lurid sets and savage and startling action will undoubtedly have cult appeal as the conventions of physics, history and genre are all ignored in this overblown fever dream. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
A loving and lurid pastiche of the spaghetti westerns that were themselves lurid pastiches of classic Hollywood cowboy pictures.

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Miike's homage is devoid of pretention and teeming with insanity. full review
