This mythic tale of greed, war, love, betrayal and revenge includes shoot-outs and duels shot in visuals superceding the imagination of even visual hyperbolist Zack Snyder (the answer to the question of how a culture steeped in internationally produced Westerns might respond -- in hyperrealistic terms); a breakneck ride through an unforgetable world.This stylized Western spares no moments in numbing any expectation of realism regarding sets, acting styles or violence, and the sooner you are relieved of these mainstream Western conventions, the more you'll enjoy the indulgent spectacle that this film provides.
